Swedish term

styrelsesekreterare

Swedish to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
"Peter har lång erfarenhet från ledande befattningar inom industrin, som chefsjurist och styrelsesekreterare i det börsnoterade XXXXX AB."
"Peter har innehaft uppdrag som styrelseledamot i flera bolag och som styrelsesekreterare i börsnoterade bolag."
Is styrelsesekretare the equivalent of "company secretary"? Or is "secretary to the board of directors" a different post?

Comment: "You have stated no grounds for this answer, which was one of the possible translations that I had already stated in the question. My question concerned whether there was any difference between this post and that of company secretary, which is the usual term used in English. "
