The absolute number doesn't matter. Non-profits participate in the same labor market as for-profit companies. You have to compare it to executive salaries for other similarly sized companies in their market segment to make the argument that she is overpaid. Otherwise you're just arguing against income inequality, which is not a problem exclusive to Mozilla, and crippling Mozilla's ability to participate in that labor market will not fix it.

Does Mozilla compete with for profit companies for C suite market? Which technology intensive company hire a CEO who is lawyer by profession and hasn't had any redeeming resume for management and technology. If you look at firefox's market share, the only growth it had was when she was not a CEO. Seriously, Mozilla is not competing with for profit companies in C suite labor market.

Yes, Baker is CEO of the for profit corporation.

Which technology intensive company hire a CEO who is lawyer by profession and hasn't had any redeeming resume for management and technology.

Are you aware that she cofounded the project in the 90s? Mozilla (corporation) didn't just decide to hire a lawyer out of the blue in 2018.

No, a non-profit does not need to attract someone who only cares about making money.

Hiring someone willing to work for less would ultimately be better for a non-profit, since it's an indicator that they care about the mission, and not purely about the money.

If you hire someone who wants over 2M, you hire someone who cares about your money, not your ideals, and will push the organisation in that direction.
