Best time to jump to minimize time to C-Suite?

Long term I see myself in a c-suite operating role at a pe backed portco or striking out on my own.

Besides entrepreneurship, what is the optimal time to jump to minimize time to reaching a c-suite P&L management role. Does it make sense to stay in banking, move to PE or try to move to consulting?
