Red Herring Magazine just ran a nice article on BEA Systems and their CEO. Check out the intro:
Let’s start with BEA CEO Alfred Chuang’s car. It’s a BMW M5, one of those sleek, stealthy super-sedans that can glide past the cops unnoticed. Yet a light tap on the accelerator is enough to teach the kid in the Porsche in the next lane a little humility. “Any single time I jump onto the throttle, this thing could kill anything,” Mr. Chuang says during an interview in his office. “Including the Porsche.”
The car is a lot like BEA. The San Jose, California-based firm isn’t glamorous. BEA’s specialty is middleware, software that moves data from one application to another. BEA is not notable for its size, either. With a little over $1 billion in sales, BEA is big—but no match for Microsoft or Oracle. By all appearances, it’s the sensible sedan of the business software world. Don’t let that fool you, Mr. Chuang says.

After reading the whole article, I see in the last paragraph that the BEA board insists on having a driver pick up and take home Alfred from work.
Al, come on man. Who is running the show over there? Youv'e got to get better control of your board on key decisions. You are missing out on some important drive time.
