English term or phrase: core leader
Abhijit is Global Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Executive Officer, Europe, for NTT Ltd.

He joined the company in February 2021 from McKinsey and Company, where he most recently served as a Senior Partner and core leader of the Global Tech, Media Telecom (TMT) Practice.

Core leader? It is not Kernleiter.. Deepl says Hauptverantwortlicher. Hauptverantwortlicher für das Kerngeschäft?

Does anyone know the proper term?

IT-Kontext Telekommunikation:

Core Leader means an Investigator identified as a “Core Leader” of a specified Core in the Application and who is responsible for the proper functioning and execution of the Core. - https://www.lawinsider.com/dictionary/core-leader

Da es sich hier um den Rechenkern handelt bietet sich für leader DER Spezialist an:

disagree  Steffen Walter: Im Kontext deutet nichts auf die rein technische Bedeutung "Rechenkern" hin. Erscheint mir bei einer Top-Führungskraft ("Senior Partner") auch unwahrscheinlich. Siehe auch https://services.global.ntt/fr-fr/about-us/leadership ---> Abhijit Dubey.

Reference: McKinsey-Begriff

Reference information:
"Core leader" scheint ein McKinsey-spezifischer Begriff zu sein. Darauf deuten zumindest die Ergebnisse der Suche nach "mckinsey" und "core leader" hin. Auf www.mckinsey.de finden sich zahlreiche Mitarbeiter mit der Stellenbezeichnung "core leader" - dazu die Suche auf "site:.mckinsey.de" einschränken. Daher könnte die Bezeichnung eventuell auf Englisch belassen werden, sie entspricht wohl der Leitungsfunktion für einen Schwerpunktbereich bzw. eine Abteilung.
