executive officer

A person granted special powers in a company similar to those of an executive director in a UK or US company. This is the normal case. The person is often a director. However, the powers maybe temporary for a specific function.

To make this clearer, a "procuratore speciale" is very often a CEO or a CFO, who may have been given special powers which otherwise would probably only lie with the board itself. You really need to read the "procura".

I perhaps didn't explain myself well. First interpretation is quite probably the CEO or any of the other principal execs. Now, please what is a SPOA when it is not the Sacramento Police Officers' Association.

I think if it was in a legal context then that may be the best translation but in a business context I am not sure - Jim Davis's translation 'executive officer makes sense.
