No book came to mind, but I've seen a course on data science for managers and executives on Coursera that pretty much is what you've just described. I've not personally taken Executive Data Science, but the reviews are positive. You might want to check it out.

Good luck!

Sounds like you just have some learning gaps to fill in and need guidance on how to fill them. Beyond that, I recommend interning or volunteering to gain industry experience and domain expertise (e.g. retail, real estate, healthcare, education, pharma, politics, etc). But first thing's first!

Regarding your skills gaps, you may find these courses helpful on Coursera (I took them myself):

Data Science Math Skills - to review the basics and fill in any foundational gaps https://www.coursera.org/learn/datasciencemathskills

Executive Data Science - for high level overview of the field and better understanding of types of roles available https://www.coursera.org/specializations/executive-data-science

You might also check out courses in these specializations (although I have not personally reviewed them):
