I am sorry but your quote doesn't mean anything.
It doesn't mean much if you are a qualified engineer or a Nobel prize winner, or have an IQ of 180.
You can still suck as an CEO.
Really, it doesn't suggest at all that the best person has been chosen for the job.

I was only pointed out Mr Sanders made Mr Ruiz the heir apparent of AMD.

Mr. Sanders made Mr Ruiz the heir apparent of AMD. obviously he was well qualified
from wikipedia: "Ruiz earned a B.S. and M.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 1968 and 1970 respectively and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Rice University in 1973. He worked at Texas Instruments for six years and Motorola for 22 years, rising to become president of Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector before being recruited in 2000 by AMD founder Jerry Sanders to serve as AMD's" president and chief operating officer, and to become heir apparent to lead the company upon Sanders' retirement.
