"Are just administrators"
A bit of a casual comment. Current Twitter CEO was the CTO before. Satya nadella and sundar pihai both were fairly technical when they started. Even Zuckerberg won't fit your definition because he coded facebook initially in PHP/Mysql but what it is today is probably s lot more technically complex.
And anyway, the job of a CEO of a large public company is not to be technically competent. They just need to understand technology.
- dbish 4y agoI think of technically competent as having been a hands on dev, Zuck at least did that during his time (like Gates in his day). Satya and Sundar were not hands on in terms of coding and were PMs in their respective companies before moving up the ladder. This makes sense for the CEO role, but if the question is technically competent CEOs, not sure they'd be representative, of course they have computer science backgrounds/education so it's debatable.
