Here in England, it's called a Director.

In the US a "director" is anyone on the board of directors.

That's true for UK companies too - there can be (and often are) multiple directors. In fact, unless there were a lot of founders, I'd expect all of them to be directors, at least initially.

England has "managing director" for the CEO.
