inglés term (edited):
By executing successfully against our strategy
Al realizar [cabalmente] nuestra estrategia
O:
implementar, llevar a cabo, etc.
Although it is possible that there is some use of the word "against" that I am not familiar with (and perhaps peculiar to business contexts like the one reflected in this extract) I would assume that there is a mistake in the English here (perhaps the text was drafted by a non-native speaker with a very shaky command of the language). This is because "against" seems to make no sense here, for it would appear absurd for the entity in question to devise a strategy and then declare that success of whatever venture is being referred to depends on "going against" (i.e., contradicting) said strategy.

I would add that even if "against" is being used in a way that can be deemed acceptable here, it can on logical grounds *only* mean "in accordance with," "in keeping with," "consistent with," etc.
