Should ongoing business experience be mentioned in faculty job applications?
The first time I taught I was hired solely on the basis of my work experience.  This was in a field that trains students for careers in a specific industry, but I doubt I was the first person to who this has ever happened.  Academics are not necessarily going to have a bias against you for having industry experience.  If you can teach and are an asset to the department that's what they'll judge you on.  Not abstract ideas of being the "wrong" kind of person.
