1. operator

   In strict philosophical usage, the prime mover or doer of an act is the agent. Thus we speak of man as a voluntary agent, a free agent.

   actor, agent, doer, factor, instrument, means, mover, performer, promoter

   Antonyms:
   chief, inventor, originator, principal

   Preposition:
   An agent of the company for selling, etc.
