Executive leadership, on demand

Lead At Full Strength

Chief Stack is an agency that provides experienced leaders for nonprofits and mission-driven organizations.

An empty leadership seat costs more than the salary you're trying to avoid.

A full-time search

Six months of vacancy, a recruiter's percentage, and a salary the budget was never built for.

A consultant

Recommendations, then a handoff back to the team that was already stretched.

Chief Stack

Weeks from now, someone who has already done this work is in the seat, and your board sees measurable progress at the next meeting.

How it works

1

We learn the seat

A conversation about what the role carries and what the first ninety days need to produce.

2

We match a leader

Someone who has held the role before, at an organization like yours. If the fit isn't right, we replace them.

3

They step in

In your leadership meetings and on your board agenda, month to month.

From the field

"We used to miss grant deadlines because nobody was tracking them in one place. Chief Stack built that system in the first few weeks."
