agree  Jirina Nevosadova: I came across "company secretary" here in CR. It was a multinational company, but the people were mostly German.

  -> Thanks - however, I suspect that "statutory representative" is more accurate!

jednatel - člen představenstva
executive - member of the board


Explanation:
These terms vary depeding on the duties and powers the person has within the company. However, "jednatel" is generally an "executive. If the context points to the top executive (as you suggest by using Managing Director) then I'd use CEO or Chief Executive Officer. this would be ther person who represents the company and makes decisions on its behalf("jedna v mene spolecnosti" in Czech). It is common for a CEO to be on the board as well - therefore "member of the board" would also be added.

jednatel - člen představenstva
Executive - member of the Board of Directors


Explanation:
I am a lawyer and I practiced law both in the Czech Rep and the UK. These are the terms used for jednatel and clen predstavenstva. CEO, CFO etc. are terms showing the position of the person in the company but not necessarily their status of statutory representatives (both the executive and the member of BOD are statutory representatives - statutarni organ)

If your documents is for UK audience, you could also use \"director\" for jednatel.

Hope this is helpful.
