Bit megaloasiatic aren't we? Corporate top execs invariably tend to derive from a more global pool of candidates than employeess out on the floor, not from just down the block. Heck they tend to have a collection of houses scattered about the land to mark their previous positions. Anybody who knows anything is already aware of this.
