Adam Jeske is The Nonprofit CEO Advisor, working with nonprofit CEOs on the decisions that define their tenures. Rebrands. Restructures. Leadership transitions. Board dynamics. Executive team design. Revenue strategy. These are the decisions CEOs carry alone, because the people around them either lack the full picture or have an agenda.
Adam's clients include World Relief, Young Life, and Christianity Today. He hosts The Nonprofit CEO Podcast, and Season One podcast guests include the CEOs from Habitat for Humanity, World Vision, Opportunity International, YouVersion, National Council on Aging, Bread for the World, Praxis, Hope International, and Center for Effective Philanthropy.
Adam also convenes The Nonprofit CEO Circle, a curated, invitation-only peer intelligence network for nonprofit CEOs. He writes The Nonprofit CEO Briefing each week, drawing on patterns from 250+ conversations with nonprofit CEOs.
Adam has spent the last 25 years in the nonprofit sector, including years living and working in Nicaragua, China, and South Africa, a long season at a $130M+ international nonprofit, and ongoing roles as a donor and board member.
