This is as strong a profile as I have seen in some time for Harvard. You have an important and impactful job at a major tech player, including real experience in AI which is not all that common for MBA applicants. You also have worked in finance, a nice combination with tech. Your GRE score is two points above the Harvard average and your GPA also checks the box. You also have an undergraduate degree from a prestigious university. An academic recommendation won’t carry as much weight as a professional one but given your involvement in course development it would be a great complement to to a more traditional work rec. Good luck to you.
