Lateraling From a Boutique to a Bulge Bracket Bank Via a Part-Time MBA From a Top 10 School

Would pursuing an MBA part-time from Stern help an individual make the move from a somewhat "no name" boutique in New York to a bulge bracket bank? Please note that the boutique is focused on one specific sector and I would be interested in moving to the same sector group within a larger bank after 3 to 4 years at the boutique. Does anyone know anyone who has done this via a part-time MBA?

Note: I have a 3.7 GPA from a nontarget state school.
