Not to mention the old school of Jobs, Gates, and Ellison (who's now actually CTO, but was CEO for years). I don't think techie are inherently good or bad as CEOs, but I do think there's a breed of businessperson who thinks only people with MBAs can do the job, and they're clearly wrong.
so true a comment...

It’s ok to have one MBA type to provide a different perspective
It’s a problem if you hire multiple MBA to set goals and culture for a tech company
