Answers:
In Britain it's a Chief Executive (or increasingly, the American 'CEO' is being used - same meaning) if the company is a PLC, or a Managing Director if the company is limited. PLC, or 'public limited company', means shares are sold to the general public - so that's the distinction between the two.
CEO
I think it would be the CEO--- Chief executive officer
ceo
CEO
The Chief Executive Officer
He/She is likely the President, and then possibly any of a bunch of titles including Chief Executive Officer, which is usually the "head" of the all.
You could call them anything.CEO, Executive, Project Manager, A**hole lol. It just depends to which degree their importance is.
