Hi
mbaMission,
I am a financial analyst at a VC-backed startup working in scaling new CPG brands and in acquisition/investment analysis and due diligence. I am seeking an MBA at a handful of international schools, such as:
Oxford
Imperial
Cambridge
LBS
INSEAD
I have never received formal training in business, so I am confident the credibility and education I receive through an MBA will complement my experience well.
My profile:
- 5 years working experience across several disciplines
- 2 years in advertising, working with data tools and digital programming procedures, managing budgets and evaluating performance
- 1 year working in France at a boutique branding and marketing agency -- here I was focused on market research and developing marketing campaigns informed by data. I also played a lead role in liaising clients between speaking English and French
- 2 years working in a financial position as a startup that carries out PE functions as well as scaling its own portfolio of brands. I play a key role in managing and overseeing the financial responsibilities relevant to the holding company
- 2 LOR, 1 from the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of the French boutique firm, and 1 from the CFO/COO of my current employer (finance role)
- Many professional achievements - designed and implemented bonus program for a sales team of 15; helped multiply annual revenue by 10x, and more..
Academics:
- Top 40 School in the US; majored in Philosophy, French with a minor in Business
- 3.2/4.0 GPA
- 680 GMAT
Would be very grateful for any feedback, opinions, or comments.
Thank you.
