Legal analysis
All refer to directors who are not employees of the company at present. The external director is called the United States, and the non-executive director is called the United Kingdom. Corresponding to external directors or non-executive directors are those who are both board members and hold management positions in the company. Such directors are called internal directors or executive directors. The executive director is the largest shareholder of a small company. Because the company has only two shareholders, he can't set up a board of directors, so he only sets up executive directors to manage the overall work of the company. The name of president is not appropriate. Generally, it is the chairman (concurrently). He only appears in large companies with board of directors, and his management authority is the same. In a few cases (executive director), the chairman, president and CEO are all the same person. We call them "chairman and CEO" or "chairman and president", and most of these part-time jobs are owned by the founders of the company. The so-called non-executive director is a director who does not get paid and does not work in the company. Directors are divided into executive directors and non-executive directors. Non-executive directors are divided into independent directors and non-independent directors. Independent directors have no personal relationship with the company's major shareholders and leadership.
