He Only runs a branch of Torchwood, not the entire Institute. But I do not think you should think of Capt. Jack Harkness as an "American" as we know Americans any more than Dr. Who, the Time Lord, as a Brit. Because of his background and expertise, he is likely considered enough of an asset to lead a branch of Torchwood. He is a former member of the Time Agents, humans who travel through time to maintain history. He was born in America in the 51st century and left the Agency after they stole two years of his memories and became a con man, using a stolen Chula spaceship to travel through time.
