The ASF is a 501C3 non-profit corporation in the US - and there's a lot going on the corporate side of the ASF, to keep the corporate records and infrastructure that the many Apache projects you use working.
Below is a listing of the officers and people who make the corporate side of the ASF work. Here are a few more links that explain how corporate governance works at the ASF, which is separate from how Apache PMCs work.

The Bylaws specify 9 directors to be elected annually to the board; Members are each entitled one vote in board elections. The ASF uses STV to apportion votes for the board at Annual Member’s Meetings.
The Bylaws also specify a number of basic duties for each of the executive officer positions, which are appointed by the board.
For more details on what the board does, see the Governance Overview of the Board.
