thank you for your time.
Regarding your profile... You have a very good profile, All your basic educational, work experiences, good commercial experience, Great leadership experience and a great GMAT score. Yes it will put you in a good standing until and unless you work on your story. You have each and every element in your profile but all you have to do is it needs to be articulated into proper stories/essays.Build stories around failures and learnings to complement the natural successes you have had. the nonquantifiable parts of your application and his desire/need to do the MBA particularly with leadership experience has to be conveyed. Mainly your long term goal and how you can align your goals to the college is also very important.
