What kind of salary do you think someone like that is going to get? 
You bring up the Red Cross as an example in another post, the top
executives at that organization make around half a million a year. 
Hiring from the outside is probably going to be expensive, though if
there's no one competant on the inside it might be more expensive not
to do so.
