Shammi S Quddus

Consultant Bio

Shammi is passionate about helping others tell their story. She believes the MBA admissions process is not just a means to an end, rather a journey of self discovery and finding one’s voice. She takes a holistic view of a candidate’s personal and professional achievements and aspirations, making sure all the pieces of the application work together to create a compelling vision of what the applicant would bring to the MBA classroom.

Shamm’s diverse set of professional experiences across industries, sectors, and geographies allows her to work with candidates from a wide variety of backgrounds. With an MBA from Stanford GSB, Masters in Public Administration in International Development (MPA/ID) from the Harvard Kennedy School, and an BSc from MIT, her academic training spans business, public policy, and engineering.

She began her career as an environmental engineer with AECOM, one of the largest infrastructure engineering firms in the world. However, her love of international development took her back to her home country of Bangladesh to help start a company in water manufacturing. After two years as General Manager of WaterHealth Bangladesh and seeing the fundamental healthcare challenges the rural population faced, she joined a startup called Jeeon to help design a telemedicine platform. That experience ignited a love for product design and user research which led her to work as a design thinking consultant for the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and Singularity University. A major motivation for applying to Stanford’s MBA program was the school’s close collaboration with the Hasso Plattner School of Design (d.school) where Shammi took advanced courses to deepen her design skills.

Shammi completed the concurrent MBA-MPA/ID degree between Stanford and Harvard in 2018. She is currently a Product Manager at Google in Sunnyvale, CA with a focus on global payments, a role that brings together her love of user-focus, global products, and transformational impact brought about by seamless, digitized payments for billions of people.

Company Information

Vantage Point MBA was founded to be different and to disrupt. When we started the company, we deliberately wanted to start small and grow our business slowly and thoughtfully. We’ve done this by building a truly best-in-class team of talented MBA admissions consultants who are passionate about mentoring applicants and providing high-quality training, resources, and support for our team so they can deliver superior results for our clients. We vowed to be the most personalized and dedicated team of consultants available; and our internal mantra is to treat every client like a family member or friend who is reaching out to us for trustworthy guidance. For this reason, we don’t have a sales team – every person you speak with at our firm is either a graduate of a top MBA program or a former admissions director. And since we offer only a limited number of client spots, we are selective in choosing clients to work with only when we believe that we can add value to their applications.
