Overview

Heart to Heart International (HHI) is seeking a visionary, mission-driven Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to lead one of the nation's most respected organizations advancing equitable access to healthcare in the U.S. and around the world. For more than three decades, HHI has been ensuring quality care reaches medically under-resourced communities and disaster-affected areas. Its work is grounded in the humanitarian principles of Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, and Independence, and guided by a vision in which every person has the opportunity for a healthy life and every community has the capacity to make that access a reality.

The organization distributes approximately $350 million annually in donated pharmaceutical products, which are provided in-kind by manufacturers and are restricted for charitable distribution rather than operational use. These donated goods are recorded at their fair market value but do not represent cash resources available to the organization. Separately, the organization operates on an annual cash budget of approximately $10 million, which supports staffing, logistics, compliance, and program administration necessary to facilitate the distribution of these donated medicines worldwide.

Since its founding in 1992, HHI has expanded from early large-scale medical airlifts to a global nonprofit delivering medical aid, strengthening community health, supporting laboratories, and responding rapidly to crises around the world. As HHI continues to expand its reach and deepen its impact, the CEO position represents an extraordinary opportunity to guide a high-performing organization through its next chapter of innovation, sustainability, and global influence.

Overview of the Role:

The CEO serves as HHI's strategic leader and primary ambassador, advancing the mission while ensuring organizational excellence across programs, operations, finances, and global partnerships. Reporting to the Board of Directors, the CEO guides long-term strategy, upholds accountability and compliance, and fosters a collaborative, mission-aligned culture across a high-performing team.

This leader will strengthen and diversify philanthropic support - particularly expanding beyond HHI's strong Kansas City donor base - while elevating the organization's visibility and impact. Through disciplined leadership and strategic relationship-building, the CEO will ensure HHI delivers high-quality health access, disaster response, and capacity-building initiatives that improve lives and strengthen communities worldwide.
