See comments below from last posting, but also considering you are a female applicant, this level of diversity should make your application even more attractive to schools on the tail end of the top 20 as well

--
Thanks for sharing your profile. You have some nice work experiences with a strong brand attached to it along with international roles, which should help diversify you a bit from your competitive application set. Your GMAT will not wow anyone in admissions but is a credible score which will probably garner the most interest between the top 20 - top 50 range. I would work to target programs that have a strong track record of supporting students with your career interest and tailor your application accordingly.

Hope this helps!
