The Valtas team has been incredibly fortunate to identify and hire a consulting team of Interim Executive Directors (IED) with a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences.  We are frequently asked what it takes to be a successful Interim Executive Director.

​There are many overlapping skills between someone who serves as an executive leader in a nonprofit and a consulting Interim ED or CEO.  There are also a few key differences between a regular Executive Director role and an IED.  Each nonprofit has some variability and nuance – different types of business models and program delivery, staff size, and funding complexity all impact the role of a nonprofit leader.
