United Kingdom (UK)
In the UK, an executive director is a member of a board who is also an employee with a senior role. It is common for boards to have several executive directors, e.g. for different departments.
There is no legal difference between an executive and a non-executive director (NXD or NED), but there are considerable 
differences in the expectations associated with the role.== References ==
