Swedish term or phrase: Ledande befattnings havare
Hello

I have the heading

STYRELSE, ***LEDANDE BEFATTNINGS-HAVARE*** OCH REVISOR

There is no job description to help but in the same document, I have already used CEO (for VD) and Chairman of the Board (for Styrelseordförande)

President is used in Swedish for another person so that option seems ruled out

I dont really see what Ledande befattnings havare could be in American English (that is my target) given my remaining options

Can anyone help please?
