Arjun,
You have a competitive profile for
LBS, Cambridge and Oxford. You may also want to consider the Sloan Fellows Program at London.
You should emphasize the business contribution you have made as a leader of large teams. While obviously your work has been technical, focus on organizational and business skills on and off the job. Also, because all three of your target programs attract a culturally diverse student body, bring out your success in handling cultural diversity and any international experience you have had.

Best,
Linda
