No, but they are the most senior employee/operational position in the firm.

A Chief Executive Officer is a specific corporate title that is applied to a principal of a corporation, specifically the chair/head of a board, so the use of that title implies that a corporate board exists as well as stockholders, etc.

A managing director is less specific. The term 'director' can be used as a title for a company principal or owner, and can be applied to someone on the board, etc. However, that title can also be applied to someone who is strictly an employee. In larger companies, you'll see titles like 'Director of Online Marketing' and those people are frequently NOT actual principals, stockholders, or directors of the corporation - they are employees. The term 'managing director' typically refers to a top-level employee who liaises between the board OR is part of the board but also has day-to-day duties.

This term is also widely used for small/individual companies where a single person is holding all titles from the principals to the employees, and they need a title. For that purpose, it's quite accurate because that person is technically a 'director' (principal) of the company and is an employee who is managing day-to-day affairs.

Who is higher the CEO or the managing director?

المصطلحات "الرئيس التنفيذي" و "المدير العام" تُستخدمان بشكل متبادل في بعض الحالات، وتعتمد الفارق بينهما على البنية التنظيمية للشركة أو المؤسسة والبلد الذي تتواجد فيه. الرئيس التنفيذي (CEO): هو عادة الشخص الذي يتولى المسؤولية العليا لإدارة الشركة واتخاذ القرارات الرئيسية. يمكن أن يتمتع بسلطة كبيرة في إدارة الشركة ويقود الاستراتيجية والتنفيذ. المدير العام: هذا المصطلح يُستخدم أحيانًا في القطاعات الحكومية والمنظمات غير الربحية بدلاً من "الرئيس التنفيذي". المدير العام يشغل وظيفة مماثلة للرئيس التنفيذي في القطاع الخاص، حيث يتحمل المسؤوليات الإدارية العليا. لذلك، الشخص الذي يتمتع بسلطة أكبر بين الرئيس التنفيذي والمدير العام يعتمد على الهيكل التنظيمي والسلطات الممنوحة في كل منظمة أو شركة بناءً على قوانينها ولوائحها الخاصة.
