Yes, I can confirm that this is (was) a pretty unique situation.
I applaud the clear and explicit statement, but I worry it may be just a tad misleading (unintentionally, obviously!), in leaving out another class of consultants (a word more clearly implying 'paid', I think, than 'advisors') that are not listed on [[m:Staff and Contractors]], and I think that for completeness -- and to avoid a future round of misunderstand and recriminations -- we should probably acknowledge their existence:
I am referring to "coaches". Certain staffers (including some c-levels and the previous ED) at WMF benefit from the services of a "coach", who is an external, paid consultant. (to be clear: I have no reason to believe those coaches are exorbitantly paid or that there is anything inappropriate about their engagement!)
