Meshack Ubara is an avid learner and an inventive business professional. The last two decades of his academic and professional journey were both built on a constant and never-ending improvement philosophy, which is characterized by consistent self-reinvention. He acquired an enviable mix of technical and business skills and competencies as he worked and evolved through diverse job roles from civil engineering to information technology administrator, and finally to business founder and CEO. Over these adventurous and exciting years, he has developed an unusual acumen for creative problem solving, critical and strategic thinking, big-picture thinking and excellent organizational leadership. As a business executive, he has acquired and demonstrated a proven and practical understanding of identifying and launching the right startup idea, arriving at a product-market fit, building high-impact teams and deploying effective strategies for customer engagement, acquisition, retention and growth. His unique strengths lie in formidable execution and an unusual ability to attract and rally great talents towards the realization of audacious business goals.
Prior to enrolling in the DBA program, Meshack took several courses and obtained certifications in diverse business-related topics such as innovation and commercialization, resource management, financial markets, business analysis and strategy. In 2021, he acquired a Credential of Readiness (CORe, comprising Business Analytics, Economics for Managers and Financial Accounting), and Global Business Certificate course from Harvard Business School online (HBS Online). That same year, he completed and obtained a dual Master of Science in Strategic Marketing from London School of Business & Finance (LSBF) in partnership with the International Telematic University UNINETTUNO and Geneva Business School. Throughout all of this, Meshack kept leading CastaDiva, a company he founded in 2013, to deliver exceptional services and eventually secure multiple awards and meritorious recognitions from different corporate clients.
Meshack is interested in entrepreneurship, management, strategy and marketing. His proposed research is optimizing business product and services delivery through effective management and leadership strategy using business analytics.
