I got a VP role in an industry I have 0 experience in. Articulate your skills and build a business case for why your background and behavioral attitude will set you up for success!

Depends. What experience do you have, and what are you looking to move into?

You may not have the experience in the industry, but do you have the skills to thrive in the profession? That is the most important aspect. Plus, knowing someone in the company that you want to go is huge.

Skills matter the most but best way is to know someone in the org or build connections

word of mouth. Do something (like a presentation for them or a course for yourself) that would give you some grounds to stand on - when applying for jobs.
But in this case, only referrals would give you guaranteed success.
