Well he does have some, sort of. Running an international oil company is not like managing hotels.

ExxonMobile has its own intelligence service. They deal with heads of state in many countries. And they have
frequently thwarted US policy goals in places like Chad and Iraq. So Tillerson has a kind of foreign policy
experience for sure.

It's just hat he has always been a creature of one corporation. Can he recognize other than business interests?
Can he put US interests ahead of Exxon's?  I am not so sure. He knows Putin, does business in Russia, but
is accustomed to working "with" autocrats, not against them.  I'm sure he knows far more than Trump, but may
have Trump's limited corporate conception of ethics.
