Disagreed; even if you get that person with a 6-figure salary they'll get bogged down in political and/or technical bikeshedding and won't be able to make any progress.
For the "year of the Linux desktop" to happen you'll need dozens/hundreds of these 6-figure employees at every level of the stack (from kernel to desktop environment to apps) to be able to build a coherent system from scratch and being able to ignore/work around all the BS and wastes of time that currently plagues the Linux distro world.
I do believe you'll be successful to an extent, though whether the result can still be called a "Linux desktop" as opposed to something more like Android (Linux kernel but non-standard GUI stack) will be up for debate.
