As an aside, are there many examples of major (say Fortune 500) companies where more than one CEO was famous / respected / acclaimed?

Maybe Sundar Pichhai but he is young in his CEO role so it's too early to decide.

If I had to point to anyone, I'd say that Satya Nadella is being giving a lot of credit for a major turn around at Microsoft.

I am deeply impressed by the tech that Google puts out but it seems that Pichai has not really improved Google's biggest issues : a complete lack of focus and over-reliance on ads.

In tech? How about Intel - Moore, Grove, Otellini. Nintendo - Yamauchi, Iwata. Microsoft, obviously.

Top of my head? Goldman Sachs, GE, Disney, Ford (maybe not as fair since the Ford last name gets you instant fame)

In tech: Google before Alphabet, the former Yahoo, the former Sun. Twitter did their musical chairs act, as well.

Google before Alphabet was only Eric Schmidt right?

Larry was the original CEO until 2001. He was then CEO after Eric Schmidt, starting in 2011, until the formation of Alphabet in 2015.
