Director:

 

A Director is also sometimes known as chief executive officer. CEO are the main “bosses” of PLC’s-Public limited Companies- The title reflects his or her role as both a member of the Board of Directors but also as the senior manager.

In large Companies, including investment banks and other financial institutions, “Director/Managing Director” does not refer to the chief executive but can rather refer to the head of a major business unit.
