You can name-drop all you want. These people have heard it all. But the short answer is, if they can't interface with the rough-and-tumble reality (and day-to-day insanity) of a scrappy political campaign... then no, their technical chops (by themselves) just won't do all that much.

won't be able to do anything

That's some pretty crude hyperbole (as I'm sure you're already aware).

I don't think there is a great deal of venn diagram overlap between political apparatchik/ass-kisser and the sort of person who you want to hire as CSO of netflix or a similarly sized organization. Hiring a competent CSO who could deal with the politics and actually has the technical skills to deal with nationstate sponsored zero days... that's a hard problem.
