I agree fully with your comment, but I wish to point out that Larry Ellison's was a programmer at the time that the company that became Oracle was founded by him and his co-founders.

I get the point of his comment but it’s just nonsense… plenty of good CEOs aren’t SMEs in the field and plenty of bad ones are. the CEO of Boeing is absolutely an engineer - and so was the CEO during most of the years people consider the worst in Boeing’s quality history with the 737 Max (Muilenburg).
