One big advantage a founder CEO has over appointed ones: the founder CEO can have a thesis about the identity of the company that's used to guide decisions. An appointed CEO can inherit such a thesis, but can rarely invent one.

Could anyone of similar ilk have taken Steve Jobs’ role and assimilated his thesis? Tim Cook took the reigns and grew Apple but it was already firmly established at that point and the difference in innovation is glaring.
Is there anyone of similar ilk? Even in Silicon Valley he was a one-off.

Likely not. Maybe a close second would be Elon Musk.

I'm a huge Elon fan, but it's refreshing to see someone ditch the social norm and actually say "close second" about him. Elon is AMAZING, though. Almost as much as SJ

I could suggest Victor Peng at Xilinx after Moshe Gavrielov.
