Over the past six years, I have built my career in learning and development, working at the intersection of business transformation, technology adoption, and organizational capability building. I began my journey at Deloitte, where I partnered with global stakeholders, particularly in the life sciences and healthcare sector, to design and implement large-scale learning programs that supported digital transformation and operational change. In March 2025, I transitioned to Accenture, where I have continued to work in a learning design and solutions role, contributing to enterprise transformation initiatives across global organizations.
At Accenture, I have worked on learning and adoption programs supporting implementations of enterprise platforms such as Microsoft Dynamics 365, SAP, Salesforce, and WalkMe, including projects for Hershey’s. My role involves translating complex business processes and system implementations into structured learning journeys, instructor-led training, and performance support solutions that enable smooth technology adoption. I have contributed to end-to-end curriculum design, stakeholder engagement, and the creation of scalable learning experiences aligned with business goals.
Across both organizations, I have developed strengths in stakeholder management, problem-solving, storytelling, while gaining exposure to cross-functional teams and global business environments. This experience has shaped my interest in broader business leadership roles, particularly in digital and organizational transformation, and motivated me to pursue an MBA to strengthen my strategic, analytical, and leadership capabilities.
1. your work experience is good but try to translate this to achievements and the overall impact you had on your clients' businesses/ your team's success. even if you had a support role, show that you stepped up often and led initiatives that had a direct business outcome.
2. Your goals and justification for an MBA will need more depth. You come from a consulting background, so why cant you pivot your role without an MBA? What's holding you back? Think deeper about the need for an MBA.

Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, your profile looks strong and well-aligned. Your experience at Deloitte and Accenture in learning, digital transformation, and enterprise tech adoption is very relevant, and the global stakeholder exposure + business impact through transformation programs is a big plus.

With about 6 years of experience and a solid GPA, you are in a good range for your target schools. The key will be how clearly you show leadership, ownership, and measurable impact. Also, your storytelling angle, translating complex systems into business outcomes, can be a strong differentiator if positioned well.

Good Luck!
If you position this well, your experience can translate very strongly into consulting narratives. The key shift you need to make is moving from “what you delivered” to “what business problem you helped solve and what changed because of it.” Also, your post MBA goals should reflect this clearly. If you are targeting consulting or strategy roles, your story should show a natural progression from enabling transformation from within to driving it more broadly across organizations.

Your overall work experience and career trajectory are quite strong. Your background as a functional consultant, along with your experience in platform implementation, is a solid advantage and aligns well with many post-MBA opportunities, especially since a significant number of roles are in this space.
Going forward, your chances will largely depend on how effectively you craft your story—particularly how well you connect your pre-MBA experience with your post-MBA goals. I would also recommend targeting a GMAT score of 675+ to strengthen your candidacy across your target schools.
Feel free to reach out for a detailed discussion
All the best!
