The CEO of Boeing graduated with an accounting degree. He is literally an accountant.

He was appointed just a number of weeks ago. The CEO for the past number of years was an engineer by trade.

The current CEO was appointed in January. It is currently the end of May. I guess we could still count that in weeks, but most would use months at this point.
