Hello,
I am seeking a profile evaluation for myself. Below are the pertinent details. Thanks in advance for your time.
1) Brief description of your full-time work experience. What do you do?
I have close to 11 years work experience in Information Technology in the Healthcare domain. This includes 4 years in India and 7 years in USA with clients such as Aetna, Express Scripts and Horizon BCBS.
For the first 9 years, I was a part of Infosys Ltd and quit as a project manager; during this time I have had an opportunity to manage teams working on IT projects (Team size 12 - 15 people) to oversee all aspects of the project lifecycle, respond to client proposals, business development and pre-sales support.
The last two years of my experience was with Cognizant Solutions Ltd in the capacity of Manager-consulting. My responsibilities included managing a team of consultants, who were responsible for business process consulting and also managing the client-vendor relationship for Cognizant.
I have worked with diverse teams in global delivery model and managed teams based out of India as well as US.
I have been on a break for the last year and a half (had a baby and been on break since March 2013). I am afraid how this will impact my applications.
2) Your GMAT.
GMAT2 740 Over all (Q50, V 40, I.R 7 and AWA 6)

I was also a J.R.D Tata and Ratan Tata scholar for academic performance for all four years of my engineering studies.
