In my industry, it was commonplace for CEOs and Presudents of medical device companies to have a sales and marketing background on top of a scientific or engineering base.

In recent years, there is a noticeable shift in the expertise of CEOs and Presidents. Medtronic and CooperSurgical for example have ex-investment bankers and finance leaders in these roles. Is any other industry seeing it?
