Honestly I feel like no CEO or anyone with corporate ties should be anywhere near consideration for a cabinet position.
Depends on which CEO. A greedy employee-abusing guy? Of course not. A compassionate, competent and pragmatic leader who knows how to effectively run an organization and to get things done? Yeah! Political experts are important, but I think some cabinet jobs or other high positions should be filled with people who have practical expertise in the field. Business credentials can be helpful in running agencies, especially those related the economic and financial issues. Armed services members/veterans are good for defense-related stuff, just as a Secretary of Education with actual classroom experience makes sense. Governments in general need more experts rather than political hacks.
I guess, although I feel most CEOs are more likely to be greedy dirtbags. I just don’t like the outsized influence money has on politics. I mean our President is a businessman. My republican family members are like “he’s a businessman he knows how to run an economy” even now.
