Hi

Is this sentence correct?

Owing to his extraordinary capabilities, he has been the governor of the XYZ Bank.
  

Top answer

No, the verb tense is odd there, and 'owing to' is not the best choice. Because of his extraordinary capabilities, he succeeded as / became the governor of the XYZ Bank.
