There is a fundamental difference between a CEO at company operating at GSK's scale and for example, a few hundred person startup biotech. It's a mistake that engineers and domain experts make to assume the CEO always needs to be technical. In small companies, this can be a benefit because the CEO is effectively the leader of everything and often has their hands in a lot. But that just does not scale to a company the size of GSK. The challenges of leading a company of the size of GSK are fundamentally different and start to look a lot more like the challenges of leading other big, multinationals.
