A few examples that spring to mind, Steve Wozniak and Mitchell Hashimoto


Wasn't Mitchell Hashimoto only a non-CxO for a handful of months between stepping down and selling the company?


I'm not that familiar with his employment history; you could be right. Either way, he'd still be an example. If you have longer term ones, I'm sure it would add to the discussion


I recall James Goodnight of SAS coding while being a CEO. As per https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterhigh/2014/05/12/an-intervi..., he still programs from time to time but doesn't have a specific part in development. In looking at the articles to refresh my memory, it is clear he is one of the good CEO's


I don't think that's the model we should be looking at here. I'd add Stephen Wolfram to the very short list of similar technical CEOs.
