Spanish term or phrase: ...por los derechos que representa en su calidad de Presidente Ejecutivo...

This is in the opening paragraph of a business contract from Ecuador. I am having trouble with "los derechos que representa"

I have a feeling there is an equivalent set phrase in English. It would be great to find out what it is. Thanks for your help.

Explanation:
