Except if you consider that Branson is actually the CEO of his empire. He seems to draw the line of what products needs to be. Telling the story is the CEO job and he seems to be in charge here. I'm referring to some letter send to the virgin airline lately here. I agree with you though that the tech world love to believe CEO are useless.
