Stories of People who Went Corp Dev -> MBA -> PE (W/O IB XP?)

Let's say you start at a reputable F500 in Strategy, Business Development, Product & pivot into a Corp Dev role (since several F500's have strong internal mobility). 

You then do Corp Dev for a few years and get into an M7 MBA. Would you be marketable for PE MBA recruiting despite having no IB experience?
