Not so many contexts. For instance: 峨嵋派第3代掌门人, dictionaries suggest "head" or 'person in charge", but I think there may be another equivalent

grandmaster
Apart from the context, I think the target audience is an important consideration factor. The renditions suggested by other fellow translators could be more accurate than mine, but "grandmaster" seems to be a term easily understood by the general public, which is probably the target readers. Hope this will help.

I am thinking that in this context it is referring to a business owner, and reading through what others have posted, it would make sense that it is referring to someone who is obviously in a position of authority. I hope this helps in any way.

Reference:
sect leader (掌门)/patriarch (老祖)/abbot or fangzhang (方丈)
Several options are available. The preferred term depends on how you define "掌门". Is 掌门 a leader of a monastery or a leader of a martial arts sect?
Sect (宗 zōng) (派 pài) – an organization dedicated to the practice of cultivation and/or martial arts. Typically led by a Sect Leader (掌门) or Patriarch (老祖). With the help of Sect Elders (老), they instruct Disciples (弟子) in the proper methods of cultivation or training in the martial arts styles of the Sect.
