Able to talk like execs with those bombastic meaningless words get you more and faster result than what you describe here. You assume ratchet is always grinding thru within a company. Study mba then move out of the company after a few years then boomerang back still will achieve higher status than say your ratcheting. Stephen Elop was a good example. I doubt anyone will comment he was strong engineer. You need luck and significant talking skill. Strong or not strong technical skill, you can use chatgpt.
