Wow. That’s a strong profile!
CPG has gotten a bit of a bad name in NBA because the average pay is so much slower than consulting and tech. However, as someone who had a 15 year career in hospitality and CPG similar industry, I can say that while the average pay is not great, there are definitely niche opportunities and and senior management opportunities that make someone passionate about CPG not too worried about breaking even.

PS. Historically, Kellogg has been the strongest CPG school. Fantastic results with getting interview invite at HBS. Ross is another CPG school but a bit below the M7 mark. Columbia maybe if you would like to stay in New York.

Thanks for posting the profile and updating decision tracker results 👍
