I would actually keep her character intact as a cheerleader. Then in the second, as you reveal more about her character and motivations for overthrowing the current CEO, you can show that her appearance in the original work was a carefully crafted facade, designed to get her to the top as quickly and effortlessly as possible. The exact reasoning, of course, depends on her final motivation.

As an example, if she is upset by the demeaning attitude the current CEO (and society) has towards women, her motivation would be to show him (and society) what women can really do - but initially she plays into the whole "cutesy ditsy" stereotype she is upset with. She goes this route, knowing that if she shows just how capable she really is she would never get up more than a few rungs of the ladder. Once at the top she begins subtly manipulating circumstances to topple the CEO, all without dropping the facade until the final "coup d'etat".
