Because if they can effectively organize people to efficiently distribute goods and do that on an on-going basis, that’s what enables the goods to get to those in need.

Not many people are going to be able to volunteer full-time. At some scale, someone has to work full-time to make the machine go.

but does that person need to be a CEO? or could most of the day to day be managed by someone at a much lower rate. and then use the board/ceo to make directional and larger decisions.

high level decision making is not needed all day every day at most companies. Even the ones i've worked at that had thousands of employees, could operate with out a head being around 9-5. Particularly so if they were well managed.
