Breaking into ER from commercial banking

Currently working in commercial banking at a large bank. Some of our clients are smaller corporates with 10bn + in revenues so I have some corporate banking experience. Has anyone else broken into ER from a similar non-traditional background? I'm planning on taking modeling courses, networking, and doing a level or two of the CFA to help boost my profile.
