company president
How do you say "company president" in Chinese? There are several terms and I'm not sure which one is the most appropriate. This will be printed in a business card.

Thanks in advance!Not sure how I can reply here, so I'll just use this feature.
Thanks for your replies. Seems like 总裁 is more appropriate coz of the definition, but 3 of you have said 主席, so I'm not sure which to follow? Also the term 董事长 is way off right?
