In her being a high-flyer, she is very ambitious

Hello,

I'd like to ask you, what kind of structure is "in her being a high-flyer, she is ..." ?
Do you often hear it?

Thank you

Would it be better just to say: "Being a high-flyer, she is ambitious ..."?

That is better, yes, but it remains redundant: 'high flyer' means an ambitious person.
