English term

Panelist

English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
The "full" context is:

Executive ID -
Panelist ID -

This is related to a finance/business portal. Instructions from the client: Technically these people aren't CEO's. It's a nice title. These are the names given to the sales reps for the company. They want to see there naming convention used. Be literal.

I do know what "ID" means. Why I'm asking about this term is that I would like to have a paraphrase or explanation of "panelist" in business/sales/management context (if there is any), as using literal translation of "panelist" in the target language might resemble a particpant in a panel discussion or in a survey.

Thank you.

Not sure what further explanation you need, asker. Your client has told you it;s a title used by the sales reps. Presumably there is a "panel" of sales reps.

panelist (individual from panel/select group of sales reps)

I agree with AT that this is most likely just a panel of sales reps so some are picked from this panel to cover different areas

you should keep the word in English as it's no problem. Perhaps think of it as a specific group/select group to pick from/select from when translating
