I get some wild ideas out of LLMs too, is that all CEOs are bringing to the table?
Looks like a CEO's job nowadays is to find out what the latest hype train is, and instruct the company to ride it.
Their level of expertise, access, relationships, etc all scale with the business. If it’s big, you need someone well connected who can mange an organization of that size. IANAE but I would imagine having access to top schools would be a big factor as well.
