Pfizer CEO

Why are you laughing?

You think the CEO of Lockheed knows how to build a jet engine?

out of curiosity I googled this guy. He actually might have a slight chance.

Also we "worked together" at different companies, although he kind of was the management type and I was a bit of a peon.

An engineer who understands aerospace. Most of Lockheed Martin’s revenues and returns are generated from aerospace activities, and Taiclet has a lengthy record of achievement in that arena. He studied engineering at the Air Force Academy, where he graduated with distinction; was a pilot and instructor (over 5,000 flight hours) in the Air Force; became an aerospace consultant at McKinsey & Company; was vice president of military and commercial engine services at Pratt & Whitney; and then became president of Honeywell Aerospace Services. So while he is best known for his success at American Tower, Taiclet spent a majority of his adult life in aerospace.

Sounds like he might know how to build an engine.

Looks like I may have picked one hell of a bad example. But ya’ll get my point.

I totally get it. I just found it funny that the shot in the dark was that interesting.

Irrelevant for being a CEO.

For what it is worth veterinarians probably get more basic training and practical experience in epidemiology than most medical doctors as infectious diseases are a lot of what they see, not to mention most of the nasty big infectious issues in humans are due to zoonotic diseases.

Might give credit to that Canadian vet professor who was spouting all his shite a few months ago

Nice try, but…

Taiclet began his career as a U.S. Air Force officer and pilot, where he logged over 5,000 flying hours as an aircraft commander, instructor pilot, and unit chief of Standardization and Evaluation. His rotational assignments included the Joint Staff and Air Staff at the Pentagon, and he served in the Gulf War and among other missions, was a pilot in one of the first transport aircraft deploying U.S. forces into Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Shield, a Lockheed C-141B Starlifter.
He holds a master’s degree from Princeton University, where he was awarded a fellowship at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs, and he is a distinguished graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy with degrees in engineering and international relations.
