<upd_detl>How on Earth, did the notion of company president get in there?
The English word "president" is veeeery broad and vague, but the Japanese terms that are used for its various meanings, very much are not.
Especially 大統領.
It refers exclusively to a country's president …except for in the second, figurative and tongue-in-cheek, sense, where someone is metaphorically (and very much hyperbolically) referred to, as being as big and important as the president of a country.</upd_detl>
