Profile on: Dr Reginald Chima
MBA in International Management, Zimbabwe
"I recommend very highly the Royal Holloway MBA [course pages], especially to my colleagues at the United Nations, and other international organisations. The Royal Holloway MBA is the best for very busy senior managers working in international development aid and technical cooperation.
'The Royal Holloway MBA was my choice for an appropriate, specialised training to equip me with the necessary international management, administrative and leadership skills for my senior level international career responsibilities at the United Nations. I currently work for the United Nations Population Fund as a Regional Adviser for Africa on Monitoring and Evaluation.
My choice of the Royal Holloway MBA was an important decision for my career path as a senior economist, and an international development aid and technical cooperation manager, around the world, especially under the United Nations System. I feel it has helped me to become a capable, resourceful and reliable global manager, corporate administrator, diplomat, and leader.
When I started studying for the MBA, I faced the challenge of the very busy and intensive schedule of my job and finding time to study my courses and complete the tutor marked assignments. I was confident though, that I could succeed if I studied effectively. I found the time to study during my numerous country technical assistance missions, especially at nights, on weekends, and public holidays. I had to be very disciplined and focused, which in the end, strengthened my leadership capabilities.
The MBA has been excellent in every aspect of helping me in my current role at the United Nations Population Fund - especially in advancing my management and leadership competency in relation to my role as a regional advisor. It has widened my capacity to manage and deal with global development and leadership challenges intrinsic in the work of the United Nations and other multilateral organisations around the world.
I recommend very highly the Royal Holloway MBA, especially to my colleagues at the United Nations, and other international organisations. The Royal Holloway MBA is the best for very busy senior managers working in international development aid and technical cooperation. "
