Except for Elon Musk, who is/was extremely passionate about the product, the names on the list are not the peak of these companies. Steve Balmer performed reasonably at Microsoft after Gates, Tim Cook arguably after Steve Jobs and Google is lately a hit or miss on many fronts. |

I chose these leaders specifically because their tenures saw their companies earn tons more money than when the founders were in charge.
For example: Jobs was visionary, but Cook's tenure has seen the launch/expansion of the Wearables segment and the Services segment. Those two are "only" a minority of Apple's revenues, but together form a business larger than Comcast or Meta or Target. Tech people won't give Cook credit for that accomplishment, but that's the point of this thread. :-)
