Recommendation letter from a board member of another business school

I know someone who is a board member of a business school at one of the world's top universities. However the mba program at this university is pretty rubbish.

I have my eyes on attending a top ranked mba.

If I get this guy to write me an mba recommendation letter, will it count for much because he is a board member at another business school? Would it be weird a business school board member recommending someone to go to another mba?

Will the recommendation letter from this guy help my application?
