Entrepreneur profile - for Harvard

by faraz_jeddah » Sun Dec 08, 2013 10:09 pm
Indian Citizen.
I have 4.5 years of international experience in the Middle east focused on Strategic Marketing. I am a honors Engineering graduate from one of the leading universities in the middle east.

I have worked in 3 companies -
1. Associate consultant in a Marketing Consultancy firm (1 year). This was a startup group founded by ex P&G marketing directors.
2. Country marketing manager in one of the top IT firms(2.5 years)
3. Marketing lead in a start up / Entrepreneur company focused in Education technology. I am leading the Marketing department and supporting in sales. The current job is an amazing experience as I am able to mold the company and see the tangible effects.


My grades are as follows:

Std XII : 87.6%
Bachelors GPA : 3.2 / 4
GMAT 730

I have leadership positions in my current and previous jobs. I am sure I can highlight a lot of instances where I have been proactive and made diligent plans and decisions which have had a profound effect to my team and organization.


Extra Curricular Activities
1. American football team captain
2. Public speaking on health issues

I want to stay and grow in the entrepreneurship sphere but not necessarily in IT.

What are my chances?
Is it worth applying to Harvard?
A good question also deserves a Thanks.

Messenger Boy: The Thesselonian you're fighting... he's the biggest man i've ever seen. I wouldn't want to fight him.
Achilles: That's why no-one will remember your name.
