Angela Merkel - formidable and respected even by her opponents, but never one to take the easy, populist route. Has called populism "poison"
Tsai Ing-wen (Taiwanese president, running for her second term this weekend) was a law professor. She's not a great public speaker.
Malcolm Turnbull, former Australian Prime Minster. Former investment banker. Had a tendency to have complicated policy positions which most people who worked in whatever field he was forming policy for would consider technically correct, but were hard to explain.
Hillary Clinton - terrible public speaker, overly concerned with polling and unable to read people (in complete contrast to her husband who was very much the populist)
Mario Monti - former Italian Prime Minster and economist.
I've tried to find examples from all sides of politics.
