I hold Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Economics, graduating top 5% of the class.

I worked as a researcher at the university for 1 year during my Master's. in 2019, shortly after graduation, I moved to Iceland for a 9 months internship. I became the owner's right-hand and he offered me the position of CFO in his new start-up in Sicily, position I have hold part-time and semi-remotely since then.
In early 2021, I moved back to Iceland and started my own business offering translation services. Shortly after, I accepted an offer for a job at an Icelandic small engineering business as project manager. After 6 months, I was promoted to Chief Marketing Officer/Business Development Manager, and was awarded 2% ownership in the company.
By the end of 2022, I decided to close down my translation business due to the lack of time to take care of all my responsibilities, keeping my part-time CFO and full-time CMO positions.
Over the past few years, I’ve dedicated much of my time to learning about financial management and corporate finance, as well as investing. I enjoy analysing publicly traded companies, studying their business models, competitive advantages, management, and capital allocation. This interest has led me to manage my own portfolio and follow a constant learning process.
Given my passion for finance, investing and asset valuation, I would like to pivot to more finance-related roles. I have experience in different roles, countries and industries, and I was always able to enjoy my duties. Therefore, I am quite open to all sort of opportunities. However, I am not sure if this lack of clear goal is a positive aspect for admission teams. In terms of geographies, I am willing to study job offers from across Europe (Denmark, Netherlands, Spain, the UK, Iceland etc).

I am a 27 year old female with a Masters in Economics, with 4 years and 3 months of work experience in Media analytics and consulting, mostly in Market Mix Modeling. I work directly with South American (Brazil, Argentina and Chile) stakeholders and in the past I have also had experience working with USA and UK clients. I have recently won an award in office for outstanding performance within 2 months of joining a new team. Alongside work, I engage into community work - teaching underprivileged kids in remote rural areas during Covid, cancer prevention fund raising for Global Cancer Concern and as a Climate Activist under UNFCCC. Apart from this, I had consistent proficiency and top 3 rank in academics right through my academic life. I have recognitions in debates and various public speaking competitions, a bachelor’s degree in Classical music and numerous team activities and event organising.

can someone please do a profile evaluation for me -

GMAT - 655 (Q88 , V85, DI75) -Q and V are fine, but messed up DI real bad with only 47 percentile

10th - 93.50 %, 12th - 90.60%

UG: 7.0 GPA (Tier-1 Engg College) ( Planning to do MBA math to offset this)

Have 4 years of work ex in software development in a Product Based Company

Additional stuff -
-received 2 promotions in 4 years , got a certificate for being amongst the best mentors in the company
-cleared CFA L1 in first attempt
- helped local hospitals during COVID by getting them necessary chemicals which helped them in maintenance of proper hygiene - have certificates from each of them
-volunteering exp at various NGOs (mostly related to child education and welfare) - received LOR from one of them for being one of the highest fundraisers in a fundraising campaign

Really not sure if I need to give the GMAT again before R2 or not - any advice will be helpful

With a foundation in design and a passion for strategy, I have built a career that bridges creativity with business impact. After earning my Bachelor’s in Design (Fashion Communication) from NIFT with distinction, I began as a graphic designer and, within four years, rose to lead marketing initiatives for one of India’s largest food and beverage companies. My trajectory from design to marketing management- supported by two rapid promotions- reflects both adaptability and a consistent drive to learn, lead, and deliver measurable results.


At Wingreens Farms, I have led cross-functional teams to expand market presence, direct national-scale brand activations, and strengthen digital identity, resulting in industry-leading engagement and visibility. I approach every challenge with a design-thinker’s mindset- empathetic, structured, and solution-oriented, which allows me to unite creative and commercial goals.

My leadership philosophy is collaborative and people-centric. Whether managing large influencer communities or coordinating teams across departments, I focus on alignment, trust, and shared ownership. Growing up in the Gulf and later working in India has made me culturally fluent and adaptable- skills I value as essential for today’s global business landscape.

Curious, grounded, and impact-driven, I bring a blend of creativity, analytical rigor, and cross-cultural experience. These qualities, paired with my desire to keep learning, make me an ideal candidate for an MBA that values diversity, collaboration, and innovation—qualities I see deeply reflected at London Business School.

After 5 years in the Manufacturing in Private Defence Sector as a technology consultant in Material Engineering, I wish to upskill, build a network and switch to Management Consulting for the Manufacturing Sector

MBA Plan - Currently thinking of MBA in general management with a specialization in Product Management or Strategic Management.

Academic:

- Graduated with a Bachelor's in Economics (2021) from one of the top three universities in my country, an institution with a strong alumni presence at London Business School, my target program.
- While my GPA was below average due to personal challenges early on, I significantly improved my performance during the final years, graduating with strength in the fields that shaped my professional path.
- I co-founded my university’s Finance Club, the first of its kind in the country. It quickly became a launchpad for students securing top finance roles and continues to be a key platform for future talent.

Professional:
- I began my career at a New York–based global elite boutique investment bank, one of the top three firms worldwide, where I spent four years in M&A (Analyst and Associate) based in Bogotá.
- Recognized as a top-bucket performer, I was fast-tracked twice, advising on over 4 billion dollars in closed transactions across Latin America.
- Afterward, I co-founded a real estate private equity firm, where I currently lead strategy and fundraising. We are in the process of raising 50 million dollars from institutional investors and family offices, targeting high-quality opportunities across the region.

Rationale for Pursuing an MBA:
- Geographic expansion. Relocating to the United Kingdom is both a personal and professional step to learn, grow, and operate in one of the most sophisticated financial ecosystems in the world.
- Career acceleration. I aim to transition into Private Equity or Investment Banking in London, where I am already in conversation with former colleagues from my previous firm.
- Long-term vision. My ambition is to found an investment firm focused on Latin America, connecting global capital with the region’s most compelling opportunities.
