I don't have a strong opinion on his tenure at MSFT, but I don't know many sales jocks with a 1600 SAT score and a degree in applied math from Harvard.

  Effective sales and marketing is more dependent on math than most people realize.

    ...how? I get that it correlates with intelligence, but with math, specifically?

      Lots of metrics to analyze and statistics to crunch. Knowing where to focus the schmoozing is as important as the schmoozing itself.

  Good point. https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2002/6/4/personable-ballmer-leads-college-extracurriculars-microsoft/ https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2002/6/4/personable-ballm... > In high school, Ballmer scored a 1600 on his SATs and was a National Merit Scholar. Would the Crimson verify this or just trust the claim?
