Am sure your stories around work achievements will be distinct and catch the eye of the readers. The key would be to show that you understand the criterion for admissions for each of the schools and how you have developed the necessary skills they value via your work. Also would need to dig deeper into your goals. Did not understand what you mean by saying ‘marketing aspect of tech development’ . How do these goals relate to your background ? Execute well on defining your career story, and I could even think of a few M7 who may be interested in you. Reach out at deepakp@mbaexchange.com if you want to discuss further. Good luck !
