He's probably talking more about mindset than educational and professional background.

You can have a leader with the mindset of an ornery engineering-first engineer. You can also have a leader who's an ex-engineer with the mindset of a business executive. There's a big difference between the two.

I personally do not know which of those categories Dennis Muilenburg fell into, though.
