He's actually been an executive at major organizations, unlike Jack, who was a commercial contracts attorney who probably never managed anyone other than a couple recent law school grads in his whole life. And he probably treated them like crap.

Attorneys, like doctors, are usually terrible at strategy setting and organizational leadership. Jack was no exception. I'm hopeful, based on his prior, relevant leadership experience that Bevacqua will be an exception. We desperately need him to be the kind of leader that Jack wasn't, and never really could have expected to have been.
