Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
Hebrew term or phrase: מנהלת אישית
How would this title be translated? In this context someone is talking about his מנהלת אישית.
Somehow, "my personal manager" doesn't sound right.

Thanks.

Explanation:
More context would be nice. :)

Generally speaking, I've often heard "(personal) Admin" in relation to a מנהלת אישית of a senior Executive.

immediate superior


Explanation:
If the context is "the one who manages me personally", then "immediate superior" seems reasonable.
