It is off topic, but I think that you are incorrect - Mr. Iacocca
graduated from Lehigh U. as an engineer and began his career with Ford
as an engineer. While he spent much of his time at Ford in sales and
marketing, he had a much better grounding in automotive engineering than
most of his peers. Maybe you should have picked a different example: Leo
Gerstner, who came to IBM directly from Nabisco.

Nor did Lee Iacocca have any particular automobile engineering skills.
Ballmer is the CEO, not the chief software architect--that's Ray Ozzie.
