Gestor

/dʒɛˈstɔːr/ noun

Definition

In some European legal systems, a person who manages the affairs or business of another; an agent or administrator.

Etymology

From Latin gestor, derived from gerere (to conduct, manage). The term is used in Spanish, Portuguese, and other Romance languages for professional business managers or agents.

Kelly Says

A 'gestor administrativo' in Spain does paperwork that Americans hire accountants and lawyers to handle—it's a profession that barely exists in English-speaking countries because we've split the role into many specialists, while Romance-language countries kept it unified.
