I don't really deal with the engineering stuff, right now. I would only annoy people if I stuck my nose in with opinions. I don't really deal with business stuff so much either though ... hmm.
I guess I would describe my role as always plugging the weakest important part of the ship, and paying lots of attention to product and strategy.
Year one was about, "do we have a product? is it different enough?"; year two was about .. "okay, now do we have a business, and will people pay for it?" and year three is indubitably going to be about user experience. So I'm spending most of my time learning things about that.
Not sure if this answers your question or not, sorry.
