Peter Stuyvesant was Director General of New Netherland from 1647 to 1664, when the English took over. The colony of New Amsterdam was part of the greater Dutch province of New Netherland. There was never a Director General of New Amsterdam.
New Netherland was governed by seven different men, the last of whom was Peter Stuyvesant. All seven men had the same job, however, the previous six all held the title of Director. Stuyvesant was the only one who held the title of Director General.
So, technically, Stuyvesant was the only Director General of New Netherlands. The names of the previous Directors are: Cornelis Jacobszoon May (1624 - 1625), Willem Verhulst (1625 - 1626), Peter Minuit (1626 - 1632), Sebastiaen Jansen Krol (1632 - 1633), Wouter van Twiller (1633 - 1638), and Willem Kieft (1638 - 1647).
