Hey there! I was wondering if you could help me with my profile!
Target schools: HBS, Tuck (my dream), CBS, Yale, Cornell
Age: 28 at matriculation
Gender: Male
Race: White
Marital status: Married for 3 years.
Nationality: Finland, a country that only sends 0-3 applications across ALL top 10 schools per year (usually 0). MBA isn't really a thing there.
GMAT: 740, healthy split with strong verbal
Education:
- Bachelor of military science, Army academy (Think Westpoint). Graduated top 30% of my class. Major Strategy, minor Leadership. Specialization Logistics.
- Master of business intelligence and information management. Graduated with 7.899/10 --> Translates into 3.9 US GPA according to the official transcript.
Professional background:
- 2 years as a Lieuetenant in a logistics company. Platoon commander. Higher than normal responsibilities as I also trained my superior officers to use the newly implemented complex logistics system. Trained soldiers going into operations abroad.
- Left the military to work full-time for a CPG-startup as a COO (pro-bono). 14 months. Made high impact and have measurable proof. Productivity went up by over 20%.
- Simultaneously worked part-time for a market research company for their international and government clients to gain knowledge in business.
- After my master's degree I have been working for a Fortune 10 Oil-company in the Netherlands. 2 years in matriculation. Rotational leadership fast-track program.
Have had a lasting impact through leading a project that seeks to increase the overall capacity of the company through technology.
Extracurriculars:
- At the Fortune 10 I am part of an environmental voluntary program
- Worked in supporting WW2-veteran rights for years. Have planned and organised fundraisers and held speeches.
- Lions club for over 4 years. Have organised a fundraiser to raise money for ALS-patients.
- Founder and President of my university's management consulting club.
- Travelled to 61 countries, speak 4 languages.
- Avid hiker and nature lover
Short term plans: Transition into MBB management consulting (turning focus on my expertise (Oil/energy, project management etc.) asap
Long term plans: Move into greentech
So to recap: Applicant from a very rare country with army officer background who has startup-experience that makes sense and ties to current job and now works in oil/energy with a twist of specializing in business tech (NOT IT!)
