Hi there!
Overall you have a solid profile....good GMAT, great GPA (though I'm not sure which school). Your work experience is really interesting and definitely an opportunity to stand out. Make sure you can show clear leadership impact and results, especially in your startup. The media / tech expertise plus MNC exposure is great.
As far as your schools...ESADE is a good bet. I think you're in range for ISB but as you know it's competitive so it's hard to predict. Haas and Anderson could be tough, average GMATs at both are above 700.
Good luck, and feel free to reach out with additional questions!
