Depends on the size and scope of the organization. Large globals typically prioritize prior executive level responsibility, B-school pedigree, and comparable experience in a similar org. Smaller orgs might prioritize expertise, connections, and demonstrable impact. With your background, your fastest path to executive is the small company route. Your experience is good, and in a hot field, but large company politics, bureaucracy, etc. will be almost impossible to navigate.

Working my way up the corporate ladder. I have so many thoughts on leadership and want to initiate changes in the departments I work with. But at this level it's so difficult. Ppl are so resistant to change.
