| | English translation:Managing Officers | Explanation:
Generally speaking, 統括担当執行役員 can be a direct translation of Chief Executive Officer. 執行役員 is not a legally defined position but Japanese companies often use it to describe very senior employees (but not 取締役 [=Directors of the Board]), loosely corresponding to 'Officers' in the Anglo-Saxon system.
I take it from your question that in this context there are several 取締役専務 and 代表取締役専務 who are collectively described as 統括担当執行役員? In this case, there are more than one, so they wouldn't be CEO or MD. 統括 meaning 'management', I would translate 統括担当執行役員 as Managing Officers. |

| Grading comment Yes, there is more than one person that this describes. It says,
取締役専務 統括担当執行役員
代表取締役専務 統括担当執行役員
And then it lists other positions and puts the roles behind those people's names as well, so I think this term is referring to a role, and not a title.
