She was fast-tracked to the executive level. Never spent more than a year or so in any position before being promoted. That being said, this happened over the course of a decade, I doubt they planned her taking a fall starting in the early 2000s. Also, she has a bit of insulation from liability coming from the manufacturing division - she was never in charge of product.
