English translation:notwithstanding
Explanation:
Depending upon the context <sem prejuízo de> can be <without prejudice> (in legalese) or notwithstanding. In your context, notwithstanding works better. Meaning that The individual is now chairman and CEO, but that does not affect any current roles (or duties). Your phrase would be: ...is also appointed Chairman and CEO of the Company, notwithstanding his current roles.
