The entire Bush Administration fits that description....

You have a CEO of a major contractor as VP, a former top oil executive as Secretary of State, a former Banking executive as Chief of Staff, the former CEO of Kellog is your Commerce Secretary, a former banking executive as the Secretary of Labor, the former CEO of a major investment company as the Secretary of Energy, a former CEO of a major insurance company as your Secretary of Health & Human Services, the former President & COO of a major investment company as your Treasury Secretary, and Bush himself spent most of his life in the private sector, although you could hardly claim that he "proved his worth" there.
