People do not go from an engineer to CEO full stop. And also, plenty of CEOs with a million dollar golden parachutes do terrible jobs. So does large parts of management.

The CEO of SABRE (biggest airline res company) went in 15 years from Software Engineer to CEO. He was then forced out when he objected to the company becoming public again (owned by Hedge Fund). I am sure its not common though.
I have seen this happen. software engineer -> president of a billion dollar company -> CEO of another >billion dollar company.
