neutral IC -- : Please be careful of the concepts between "executive" and "executive level position", the responsibility and salary between these two can vary from 10 to 100 more times...important to know when you go for an interview...

Chief Executive Offier ==>CEO of a group or company or why not a head of governement...

As to "执行委员", you need a committee to go with ==>Executive Committee Member...

However, without any context, one can only wild guessing arround...

agree Xiangdong Zhuo : 经理

"manager" would mostly be used for 经理... Thanks though!!
agree Naikei Wong : In HK (at least), this means 行政(领导)... You bet, it's just a title... the Gov head in HK is actually called "Chief Executive"... cheers

Thanks NK!! But 行政(领导) copes bettre with "Administrator" or "Administration Director", may be you are referring to "Executive Level" of position?
agree Justin Lai : also sometimes translated as 主管

主管...again, depends on the context given. Executive is the one who makes things happen, yet 主管 is more of a boss, superior, person in charge... not exactly for the word "executive", but rather for the "executive level" poistion.
