Hello,

Work Experience:
Software developer (Embedded automotive systems) working for a German automotive company for the past 4.5 years.
International Exposure: Visited Germany thrice (overall period of 20 months) on project assignments and as a technical coordinator.
Best performer in the department for two years.
Instrumental in bringing about a major change in customer perception about competence and software quality through useful suggestions.
GMAT score: 1st attempt :700 (Quant - 82% and Verbal - 80%)
AWA: 5.0/6.0

No managerial experience
Goals of an MBA:

Top 20 US Schools
HEC Paris
Warwick

University of Oxford's Said Business School
Regards and Many Thanks
