Overview

Mark McGlade
Surrey MBA

Having had over 25 years’ managerial experience in various roles with both global multinationals and start-ups, I wanted the opportunity to broaden the scope of my practical experience and fill in some of the gaps in the theory behind these practical skills.

I chose the Surrey MBA as it was a really innovative programme. I was impressed with the staff, the campus and the programme structure. At the time when I embarked on the MBA I was in the process of starting up my new company (Ingenia Technology) so it was actually very beneficial to me. I was able to use the knowledge and applications from the MBA for creating new
business plans, engaging with consultancies, financial institutions and governments, as well as developing a strategy of where to take the company.

The action learning case study was one of the highlights of the programme. We were given the opportunity to select a live company that had registered with the University and shared with them a particular problem. As a team we investigated the problem and put forward our recommendations. It was a great reflective learning experience and the company asked us for additional help outside of the case.

Going forward I think more and more companies will be looking for an MBA qualification. It’s a great all-round qualification to have and it’s never
too late to learn. It’s a great opportunity to learn outside of your traditional comfort zone and work alongside some great talent!
