puheenjohtaja

Etymology
, from. .

Noun

 * 1) chairman, chairwoman, chairperson

Usage notes
The term does not specify the gender and is the correct translation of all the three English terms mentioned above. The originally gender-specific term is used in practice only of the chairmen of national parliaments, and is used to refer to both men and women in that position. A term equivalent to "chairwoman" does not exist in Finnish.
