No, not without holding some other high profile post, like governor, a department or agency head, VP, or Senate Seat. People look for foreign policy or administrative experience. No president since at least 1880 was been elected without either a major public sector administrative post or foreign policy experience.
Aside from Perot in 1992 (who was a company head), no candidate without public sector administrative experience, or foreign policy experience, has received more than 15% of the vote since Wilke in 1940.
