Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is the pathway for somebody exiting to Corp strategy? Would a manager of strategy be a better role than Director in a BU?

Not necessarily. Corp strategy is typically a pit stop before heading to a BU. It does give you exposure to multiple business units and access to leadership which can be useful in determining where you want to go next.

From a career perspective you almost always should favor P&L responsibilities over anything else.
