Corporate Strategy at a brand name F100 to High Finance?

Anyone have any insight or recommendations on this? I’m at a very strong brand name company in a corp strat role. What are my options for long term career planning if I want to get into a high finance position later on? Can I make the jump directly, assuming I make all the right moves (networking, timing, etc.)? Or would an MBA be absolutely necessary?
