Thanks for your post. To answer your questions:
1. You have a competitive profile for INSEAD and LBS, but should also consider other programs, like Oxford or Cambridge.
2. You need to present the significance of your responsibilities, whatever your title. You also need to focus on achievement and impact.
3. Check out the University of Maryland and NYU Stern for analytics. The relevant program may be an MS and not an MBA, but check.
Best,
Linda
