Yes, and early in my career I was a technical sales person for a product I built... paired with a pure sales person.
I don’t mean to say there was no value to his skills— but I am saying that it was not hard for me to understand enough about sales to hire a good sales person.
They would of course be a better sales person than me.
The problem is people think your CEO should be a sales person and that’s s mistake.
Sales is a process that’s easy to replicate.
Creating a novel software application isn’t.
Ate hnicwl CEO can hire a great chief sales guy. A non-technical CEO can’t hire a CTO and often ends up undermining the product.
I would have no problem being hands off with the sales department.
I have yet to meet a Non technical CEO who doesn’t think he knows how to design products.
