Vice President....


Explanation:
Obviously depends on the size of the organization and the business area. This type of title would be appropriate for a multinational company with lots of employees and offices.
But say, Vice President Europe to indicate head of business
activities in Europe.

Asker: I actually prefer this suggestion, however in the UK context it may be problematic. It seems also not to be used so much on the Continent.
