The patriarch.
The pope in Rome is not the leader of any Orthodox Church. The pope is only the leader of the Roman Catholics and has no jurisdiction (power or authority) over the Orthodox Church, which has its own leaders, such as the Ecumenical Patriarch in Constantinople.
Eastern Orthodox Churches are under the authority of Patriarchs. The Patriarch of Istanbul is the successor of St. Andrew the Apostle & brother of St. Peter the Apostle.
The term "catholic" is claimed by both the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. The Roman Catholic Church includes all the Churches that accept the authority of the pope in Rome, including certain Eastern Churches. The Eastern Orthodox Church does not accept the authority of the pope in Rome. The pope is the spiritual leader of all Christians. However, the Protestants and Orthodox do not recognize that leadership.
The Orthodox Church is organized into several regional, autocephalous (governed by their own head bishops) churches. The Patriarch of Constantinople has the honor of primacy, but does not carry the same authority as the Pope does in Catholicism.
