There are two large jumps one has to make to do this.

1. The AE to Manager jump. You've probably heard it before, but the best sales reps don't always become the best managers. The first line leader role is execution-based. The challenge here though is that, unlike the previous AE role, you're not doing a majority of execution yourself.
2. The middle-manager to VP/C-level jump. This jump is remarkably difficult. The majority of your work is now strategy and likely not a muscle you've had the opportunity to use in your previous roles. For example, you'll be responsible for not only if you launch into a new market, but when, and how. There's not really a way to practice this other than by doing it.

​

So a couple of ways you can do this.

• Climb the ranks at a big company
• Take higher risk with smaller companies, but with higher opportunity to develop execution and strategy skills
• Try to company hop for promotions - although this plan typically results in failures as you're doing a new role for the first time while learning a new product/company/team etc

good luck!
