----see the explanation-----


Explanation:
"the current chief executive offficer"
"the present chief executive offficer"
Either are fine.
If this in the middle of a sentence or is the begining of one then you should put "the" before either "current" or "present".
If it is a header then leave the 'the' out.
HTH but without more context, this is the best I can suggest.

I meant to type \"officer\" and \"beginning\" (instead of what I did type) sorry!

Depending on the context ...


Explanation:
If it is a formal text, such as a business / political report, the appropriate adjective would be - 'incumbent'. For casual / lay readership, 'current' should be fine.

Hth,

Sanjay.
