Hard to think of other CEOs who took time off from running the company to play in DC for a while. I'm sure there are some, but none come to mind.

  Pretty sure there are plenty but non that have done so so brazenly

    Not the CEOs of any significant companies, no. Most boards would not tolerate this; being a CEO is generally a full-time job, and the conflicts of interest don’t bear thinking about.

  Only one I can recall is Dave Packard, who served as assistant undersecretary of defense for a few years in the early 1970s. I don't recall that he brought a mob of script kiddies with him to sack the government, threw any Nazi salutes at Nixon's inauguration, or slunk out of town with a literal black eye, though.
