Board-Supported CEO Hiring

You know what your organization needs in its next leader. We know how to hire. Together we find the right person for the role.

Executive-level and C-Suite hiring is a big job with substantial impact on a mission-oriented organization’s viability and culture. Boards are often responsible for hiring new CEOs or Executive Directors, but may lack the capacity or know-how to manage the whole process. For some Boards, a traditional search firm can reduce direct involvement in key parts of the process and may be cost-prohibitive.

Board-supported CEO hiring is the sweet spot, inviting both parties to the table to contribute their expertise.

This path allows the Board to maintain the organization’s vision and provide high-level guidance, while our team clarifies the skills and strengths needed in the role, provides support updating the job description, helps to review applications and conduct initial phone screenings, develops a rubric and behavioral interview questions, and shares insights to help you hire with confidence.

    • CEO/ED transition and the Board needs hiring process support

    • You want structure without a full search firm

    • You need alignment on role, competencies, and evaluation

    • Role clarity and job description support

    • Application review and initial screens

    • Interview rubric and behavioral questions

    • Decision support for a confident hire

Interim Executive Leadership

When an organization is between leaders, steady guidance matters. ​​With an emphasis on culture and communication, I have the experience to support your team, maintain momentum, and position the organization for a confident and strong next chapter. I start by building relationships, assessing what’s needed, setting priorities, and communicating clearly so your organization stays grounded, focused, and ready for what’s next.

    • You are between leaders and need steady direction

    • The organization needs stability and clear priorities

    • Communication and culture support are critical

    • Rapid assessment and priority plan

    • Calm continuity and team alignment

    • Clear communication rhythms and stakeholder support

    • Transition readiness for the next chapter

Fractional C-Suite Roles

Often an organization will need senior leadership without a full-time or ongoing commitment. With decades of experience working in a variety of roles in the non-profit sector, I have the professional fluency, adaptability, and drive to provide critical support that right aligns and eases staffing transitions. Let me fill fractional C-suite roles—in Executive, Operations, Clinical, or Program—that are structured for a defined scope and duration, offering high-level analysis, guidance, planning, and targeted implementation.

    • You need senior leadership without a full-time hire

    • You are navigating staffing transitions

    • You need executive-level planning plus targeted implementation

    • Defined-scope executive support (Executive, Operations, Clinical, Program)

    • High-level analysis, guidance, and planning

    • Targeted implementation within the agreed term

Change Management + Organizational Stabilization

Change often signals growth, and organizations at every stage experience it. I lead change efforts that create stability during both planned and unplanned transitions, including startup scaling, mergers and acquisitions, and leadership changes. My services support Boards of Directors and executive and senior leadership through analysis, strategy and priority setting, resource alignment, program engagement, and workforce stability.

    • Planned or unplanned change is impacting performance

    • Scaling, M&A, or leadership change requires coordination

    • Leadership needs priority setting and stability support

    • Strategy and priorities with clear ownership

    • Resource alignment and program engagement

    • Workforce stability support and follow-through
