I went from a software developer to a system architect, and then moved to director and VP but always in “architecture,” which definition could differ from company to company, in parallel to development management.

As I see it, you have a few moves: 1) Very gently distance yourself from that person until your relationship is strictly professional. Make sure they know as little possible about your personal life or work plans, projects, intentions, etc
2) Become more social and political yourself. It sounds like she’s been running the company and you just work there - you’d need to get your voice back. Cultivate your own direct 1:1 relationships with key employees, board members, and investors.
3) Try forming a subgroup within the company that is under your control and that can deliver some kind of independent and visible result. Do good work and make sure that more people know about it. But be very cautious about how you advertise those results
4) Figure out if anyone else is noticing her toxic behaviour. Your board and investors should be very interested in keeping the company culture healthy
5) Maybe there is a way to gently prompt a financial review by the board or investors?
If you do some of this for some time you should find yourself in a better position whether you decide to stay or leave
It used to be that an S Corp would be more efficent up until your total personal income/wages from all sources hits $120k a year or so. Only after that, a C Corp becomes more efficient.
* This is mostly about wages but if you also pay yourself dividends, you should factor them in too
