I would definitely start here. At least give the guy a chance to set things straight before you go to the nuclear option. And don't ever go above your boss unless you are either fully confident in the outcome, or willing to leave the job.

BTW, I've been in a very similar situation and ended up leaving. My job was BD and my boss (former regional sales guy) was holding me back to keep it from reflecting badly on his regional sales guys, many of whom were personal friends. Damn shame, because I could have made them a LOT of money.
