"CEO Machines"
Fortune magazine lists companies which are training grounds for CEOs - GE, P&G and others.
They should have given Larry Ellison and Oracle credit. While most Oracle alum have gone to private tech companies, it is an impressive list
Tom Siebel, Siebel (acquired by Oracle)
Gary Bloom, Veritas (merged with Symantec)
Craig Conway, PeopleSoft (acquired by Oracle)
Marc Benioff, salesforce.com
Harry You, Bearingpoint
Terry Garnett, several companies and now at Ingres
George Kadifa, Corio (acquired by IBM)
Robert Shaw, ArcSight
Polly Sumner, Alphablox (acquired by IBM)
Nimish Mehta, Stratify (now works for SAP)
Doug Merritt, Icarian (now works for SAP)
and many, many more...
