Bus/Financial - Management
German term or phrase: CEO a.i.
Obviously, I know what CEO stands for, but "a.i."? Not much context, I'm afraid. This appears a few times in a list of job titles. Thanks in advance for any insights.

Interim CEO
Explanation:
I also thought of "Acting CEO". But I am not sure which one is more accurate in this case as I can't tell whether German make a distinction between these two. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/interim-ceo.asp

Thank you!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Steffen Walter: Yes, "a.i." = "ad interim". Re. the diff. betw. "acting" and "interim", the former seems to come from within the organisation, whereas the latter is sourced from outside. See https://www.executivesonline.co.uk/en/interim-management/wha...

  -> Thanks, Steffen. Is there a distinction between "interim" and "acting" in German?
agree  Björn Vrooman: Posted at the same time. Since there's a distinction between acting and interim in English too, I don't think it matters. Cf. https://millerconsult.com.au/services/interimacting-ceo-dire...
