Hi there! Thanks for reaching out.
Your work experience sounds really strong -- impressive to have so many promotions and be part of building functions from the ground up. That is great! Will definitely differentiate your experience from other applicants with engineering backgrounds.
To answer your questions...1) I think a higher GMAT would help a lot. Make that your priority as I don't see many other weak areas in your profile. 2) I would go for it now! 6 years is a good stage, and you can capitalize on the global expansion timing hopefully too. 3) I think you've got a good list, with some potentially stretch schools like Booth, Sloan, Haas (though it depends on where you GMAT comes out). 4) GMAT! And it sounds like boosting your extracurricular / volunteer involvement too.
Hope this helps!
