I mean no offense to Weiss but from a buisness point of veiwand suceeding Jacques Whitley was the much better choice then Weiss. We don't know what Weiss' business skills are like. For all we know, she could actually know how to run a successful business and could have studied for it in the years that she was heiress.

The reason Jacques chose Whitley is because Whitley is more likely to do as Jacques says and run the company in the same way that Jacques is running it. Weiss, meanwhile, most likely intends to take things in a morally good direction, possibly even doing things the way Nicholas did. After all, she has Huntress training, so she could go on expeditions herself and visit the mines throughout the world without the need of armed guards.
