Hi, and thanks for writing! It sounds like you have a very well-rounded profile - professional progression at prominent companies, a track record of extracurricular involvement, and outstanding academics.
HBS and Stanford are an unpredictable reach for everyone, but you can definitely be a viable candidate with well-executed applications that show the admissions committees your values and what shaped who you are today. I think that Wharton, Kellogg, and Booth are good target schools -Kellogg is especially a strong match because of its strengths in both consulting and CPG and its student-driven culture.
Best of luck with your applications!
