Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
English term or phrase: leg owner
Earlier in the day, his shop won third place at the annual awards in Linamar’s *Stepping Stool* program, which ranks individual plants on financial, customer and employee satisfaction (the three “legs” of the stool). The program is the bedrock of Linamar’s culture; the awards regularly find Vehcom among the top five.

Leg owner = Leg Owner is the individual who champions either the Customer, Employee and/or Financial Leg. Their responsibilities include superior knowledge and understanding of all indicators in their leg and will also be involved on a monthly basis with the ‘closing’ of the month in the Stepping Stool application.

Stepping Stool est un programme de bonus et de récompenses pour les employés.
Je traduirais *leg* (symbolisant l'un des trois pieds du tabouret [Stepping Stool] par *pilier*) mais comment traduire *leg owner* ? Représentant du pilier ? Je ne suis pas convaincue...

Merci d'avance pour votre aide !

champion du pilier


Explanation:
Je reprends le "champions" de la source puisqu'on n'aura pas de verbe équivalent en français et qu'il faudra mettre autre chose de toute façon:
le champion du pilier est la personne qui représente....

Les "champions" se sont répandus ces derniers temps: champion du développement durable, des économies d'énergie, de la qualité, etc
