That's precisely why she's in a position of influence - she's a capitalist apparatchik in an expensive business suit. Someone with more heterodox views wouldn't be allowed within a few hundred miles of her job.
That doesn't absolve her of kookiness or being misinformed (at best) or disingenuous (at worst.)
In the longer term she's just an echo in the echo chamber, not an original voice. It's the original voices who are remembered and have real influence, even if it takes a generation or two before that influence has an effect.
