Interim Leadership

When a key leader leaves—whether unexpectedly or through a planned departure—the gap can put your mission, momentum, and morale at risk.

Why Choose Valtas for Interim Leadership?

At Valtas, interim leadership means much more than “holding down the fort.” Our interim leaders bring the skills, insight, and steady presence to stabilize operations, strengthen capacity, and prepare your organization for its next chapter.

Talent Depth

We quickly match you with seasoned nonprofit leaders who can start making an impact right away.

Proven Expertise

Every interim has a track record of leading organizations through complex transitions.

Mission Alignment

We place leaders who understand and respect your culture and values.

Urgency to Elevate

We don’t just maintain; we address challenges and build capacity for long-term success.

Interim Executive Directors

When your top leadership position is vacant, an Interim Executive Director ensures your organization remains stable, focused, and well-governed through transition.

Our Interim EDs:
  • Provide strategic oversight of all operations and programs.
  • Support and guide staff, board, and stakeholders during uncertainty.
  • Strengthen governance practices and board engagement.
  • Assess systems, finances, and processes—and implement improvements.
  • Prepare the organization for a smooth handoff to the next Executive Director.
Case in Point:

When a mid-sized human services nonprofit experienced the sudden departure of its ED, Valtas placed an Interim ED within two weeks. In six months, the interim stabilized finances, rebuilt staff morale, and laid the groundwork for a successful permanent hire.

Interim Development Directors

When fundraising leadership is in transition, your revenue engine can’t afford to stall. An Interim Development Director keeps donor relationships strong, campaigns on track, and systems running smoothly.

Our Interim DDs:
  • Lead all fundraising activities, from annual giving to major gifts and grants.
  • Maintain and strengthen donor and funder relationships.
  • Improve systems, tools, and processes for long-term fundraising success.
  • Coach staff and engage the board in fundraising efforts.
  • Set up the incoming Development Director for a strong start.
Case in Point:

A regional arts nonprofit faced a critical development vacancy just before its annual gala. Valtas’ Interim DD stepped in, exceeded the event’s fundraising goal, and implemented donor stewardship practices that boosted retention for years to come.
