Your focus on measurable outcomes, such as developing insights-led dashboards and improving key analytics features, demonstrates a commitment to driving innovation and delivering business value. With a clear goal to transition into a Director of Products role, leading AI-driven solutions in Martech and advanced analytics, your post-MBA aspirations are well-aligned with your experience. However, planning to take the Executive Assessment (EA) instead of the GMAT may limit your options, and your 3.3 GPA, though not a major concern, will require mitigation through a strong test score and compelling application narrative. You might consider targeting schools like MIT Sloan, Haas, Kellogg, and Ross in the U.S., or INSEAD and LBS globally, will position you for leadership roles in B2B SaaS. What's going to matter most in your application is how you connect the experiential dots and build a great story to stand out from other applicants in the pool.
