The trend of using 'president' in job titles originates back to American railroad companies in the 19th century, wanting their execs to sound as powerful as the US President. As it quickly spread across the corporate world, Brits used to watch in confusion and amusement (usually opting for something much more understated) but we’ve now adopted with full gusto.
