no.

some of us specialize in moving water with a fork.  this job is a wonderful
challenge for somebody.  once they get past the high-profile folks who seem
obviously-qualified for whatever reason, and start scraping the bottom of
the barrel, chances go up that the office of cyberczar stops being a B-ark.
(they need a Sommervell for this job, yet they keep hiring Eisenhowers.)
