When we founded Chief in 2019, our mission was to create a transformative community for women in leadership — a space like no other — where extraordinary women leaders could learn, connect, and grow with their executive peers. We’ve been so proud to see that mission become a movement, evolving from an idea with just two hundred members to a dynamic network that has impacted the careers and lives of tens of thousands of women.
After months of reflection and planning, today we’re announcing that Chief is entering its next chapter. We are transitioning the day-to-day leadership of Chief to Alison Moore who will step into the role of CEO beginning February 3, 2025. Alison is an exceptional business leader, early Chief member, and someone we deeply admire and trust to build on what we’ve created.
We’re not going far — Carolyn will transition to Chairman of the Board and Lindsay will remain on the Board. This community means everything to us. We’re excited to continue this journey on the board and as active members.
We made this decision with great care. Passing the torch to a new leader required a long, thoughtful search process that led us to Alison — an accomplished leader whose career has been defined by purposeful work and scaling enduring brands.
Alison brings 20+ years of experience across the social impact, technology, and media/entertainment industries. She is joining Chief after serving as CEO of Comic Relief US for the past five years. Over the course of her career, she’s also held executive leadership roles at HBO, DailyCandy, NBCUniversal, SoundCloud, and Condé Nast. But outside of her incredible resume (which you can read more about in our press release linked here), what distinguished Alison in our many conversations about this role was her ability to build businesses that innovate, inspire, and drive impact. She excels when business operations converge with purpose. She’s bold, creative, transformative, and a true visionary — the perfect leader to helm the future of Chief.
It has been the greatest honor to build this company alongside you — our community of members, guides, and team. You are what makes Chief a company and community like no other. Together, we’ve shown the world the immense power and potential of women leaders and we are thrilled for the incredible opportunities that lie ahead as we welcome Alison and embark on this next chapter of our mission.
