I was 1 of 2 engineers to move from our midwest office to NYC to open a new branch. I helped grow the office from 2 to 5 employees with revenue growth of 240k to 900k over 4 years. I’ve had a physical impact on the NYC skyline, with a number of buildings throughout the city (and country) that I can point to and say, I engineered that skyscraper.
I’m looking to make a jump into business operations management or supply chain management for a global consumer products company like Unilever or Proctor and Gamble. I enjoy data analytics and decision making. I also would like to move to a company with an international presence, allowing me to work abroad (preference for Europe or NZ/Aus).

Mr. Midwest Engineer – Thanks for posting your profile. Susan Cera here from Stratus.
I come from a family of structural/civil engineers and am always thrilled to see someone who has pursued this path over other more flashy engineering roles!
Congrats on the solid stats – these will position you well for success at LBS and other top programs. I suspect that at a boutique engineering firm you may not have had formal promotions so it will be important for your application materials (recommendations included) to show how you have growth and taken on bigger responsibilities over time.

Right now your goals feel a bit nebulous. You would be well served to tighten these up so that you can identify your areas for development and the resources at each program that will prepare you for success. It will be important to explain how you will leverage the skills and knowledge you have developed to date in the future.
I presume that LBS and IESE are your top choices because you want to end up in Europe. I believe you will have success by bringing some US diversity (I presume) to their cohorts. I also like Wharton for you, especially since they just announced a full scholarship to be given to an LGBTQ student who is has demonstrated commitment to community. Perhaps this could be you!?
If I have misunderstood anything in your profile, reach out for a consultation. Wishing you all the best on your MBA application journey.
