The Foundation does seem to be going vaguely in that

for example with position of Executive Director, who has significant

No, that's an entirely sensible path and what most nonprofits do. But
people keep forgetting that the Wikimedia Foundation is so tiny it
barely exists. There are times when we tick the box for "> 100,000"
and times when we tick the box for "< 10" - this is one of the latter.
