These words refer to God Almighty our heavenly Father and Creator, His beloved and only begotten Son, Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit - for example, it was Holy Spirit who raised Christ from the dead (Romans 8:11) so where it says in Ephesians 1:20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead - it means which God worked in Christ when He, (God the Holy Spirit) raised Him (Jesus Christ) from the dead

The "he" who did all this is God the Father.  The "him" or "his" to whom it was done is Jesus the Son.

“YOU must not let people call you ‘leaders’—you have only one leader, Christ!” (Matthew 23:10) With these words, Jesus made it plain to his followers that no man on earth would be their leader. Their one Leader would be heavenly—Jesus Christ himself. Jesus holds this position by divine appointment. Jehovah “raised him up from the dead and . . . made him head over all things to the congregation, which is his body.”—Ephesians 1:20-23.
