Principal Private Secretary to the Prime Minister
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Principal Private Secretary to the Prime Minister (PPS to the PM) is a senior official of the British Civil Service who acts as Principal Private Secretary to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The holder of this office was formerly the head of the Prime Minister's Office, during Tony Blair's premiership was subordinate to the Prime Minister's Chief of Staff. However, on the 27 June 2007, incoming Prime Minister Gordon Brown appointed Tom Scholar as both Principal Private Secretary and Chief of Staff.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_Private_Secretary_to_...

The Private Secretary to the Sovereign and the Private Secretary to the Prime Minister are the most important. A Private Secretary can be assisted by one or more Assistant - and or Deputy Secretaries, or even head a whole office in which those may be section chiefs.

In several continental European states, similar positions (to a head of state or executive minister) are given names meaning chief of the 'cabinet' (e.g. Chef de cabinet in French) in the sense of personal advisory and administrative staff, indeed like a Chief of Staff heading a bureau that may in fact include one or more functions styled Secretary, e.g. Press Secretary, Social Secretary. The same function may exist under another name without the word 'Private', and to a gubernotorial dignitary, e.g. Secretary to the Governor General as in Canada.

Explanation:
Intr-adevar, in engleza americana se foloseste expresia "chief of staff". La nivel european insa, in special in jargonul UE, se intalneste mult mai des "chief of cabinet".

Pentru diferente, vezi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_of_staff_(politics)

I would say "chief of board" works well in this context. It's a little vague, but not too vague to be wrong. One alternative which might fit would be "chairman" or "chairperson". Got a link for you here:

"Chairman"/chairperson" might be better for a UK context.
