Just another reminder that the executive of the state is a committee for the bourgeoisie.
In most cases the state is a reflection of society at large (examples such occupation governments or North Korea notwithstanding).
I think you’re misunderstanding the statement. “The executive of the state”, in this case these directors for the literal executive branch, do not reflect the democratic ideals of the populace and instead reflect and provide service to the capitalist class. Most administrations in neoliberal democracies are more subtle about it though.
The state more broadly and the executive specifically is a reflection of society (with some exceptions); if society does not value freedom (in the true sense, not the polemical sense), you are going to get leaders who oppose democracy.
What does neoliberal have to do with this? If anything, non-liberal administrations are much more likely to service a small group of insiders and generally engage in brutal excesses.

So far, Trump has announced plans to nominate billionaire hedge fund manager Scott Bessent to head the Treasury Department, WWE billionaire Linda McMahon to head the Education Department, billionaire crypto banker Howard Lutnick to head the Commerce Department, and billionaire entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head the Department of Government Efficiency—an outside advisory commission tasked with slashing federal spending and regulations.
REALLY going hard for the “fox guarding the chicken coop” record 🤬
