This is anecdotal, but I used to work at a large (Fortune 500) financial company. The CEO had no engineering experience, but every year they would do an annual summit of the goals of the company. Over 50% of the talk every year, they would drill down pretty deep into technical topics, I was always amazed that at that level he actually knew enough to be able to describe complex data engineering topics and machine learning models. Even if it was rehearsed, I always came off the talks super impressed with their ability to talk at that detail.Also, Bezos was a Computer Science major and a developer for 4 years after graduation.
