It really is. Duke alums have been in contention for several top corporate positions over the past few years.
Here is a brief list:
1). Mark Reuss at GM (lost to Mary Barra)
2). Terry Myerson and Scott Guthrie at Microsoft (Satya Nadella eventually became CEO)
3). David Taylor at P&G (became CEO)
4). Jeff Williams and Eddie Cue at Apple (Tim Cook will likely be at the helm for a while)
5). Steve Bolze at GE (he is one of the top 3 candidates according to the WSJ)
