Read About Ruben's Regis Experience

Ruben Martinez, ’07, ‘10
B.S. Business Administration
MBA

Originally hailing from New Mexico, Ruben Martinez came to Regis as an undergrad to study business and management. After earning his bachelor’s degree, he stayed on at Regis to further his studies in the MBA program while also working as an assistant coach for the Ranger soccer team.

Shortly after earning his MBA, Ruben went on to co-found Glamping Hub, the leading online booking platform for unique lodging experiences, including luxury campsites, boutique hotels, rustic cabins and tree houses.

How did your experience as a Regis student prepare you for the business world?

The Regis programs challenged my abilities, provided me new tools and helped me stretch my skills. Taking on challenging subjects such as finance and accounting really helped me grow, as well as the chance to network and meet people from all walks of life.

What was the most valuable experience or knowledge you gained at Regis?

A [Regis education] pushes you to pursue something bigger than yourself. The level of discernment found in the courses encourages you to think critically before you execute.

Where did the idea for Glamping Hub come from?

The idea came from traveling abroad in Spain where I planned to take classes for 3 weeks. A year and a half later, I was still there. I met my Spanish business partner, caught the travel bug and discovered unique outdoor accommodations. We came up with the idea [for Glamping Hub] and launched it. Fast forward, and I’m now the Chief Strategy Officer — most of my work is around developing new destinations.

Any advice for aspiring entrepreneurs?

Jump in and get a feel for it. A lot of people have the entrepreneurial spirit but wait too long because of perfection. Get out there and do a version of it instead of holding it close to the chest and waiting for the right time.

What kind of professional expertise and knowledge do you bring to the MBA classroom?

The wonderful thing about a Regis MBA is the mix of theory and its application amongst our faculty. I am fortunate to have both with an academic background in management and marketing mixed with many experiences starting and growing new startups and helping run operations at bigger companies. I currently work for multiple companies as a strategic consultant, sit on some company boards and host my own podcast, The True Alignment Podcast, where we discuss alignment between the customer’s experience of a business, the brand, the culture and the leadership. I am fortunate to bring these examples directly into the classroom with me.

What are the key skills and/or experiences students gain in the MBA program?

At its core, the MBA is a thinking degree. Because all businesses are human, there is not a playbook to follow. The answers to most business decisions are likely to be “it depends.” Any professional with a MBA will be faced with making decisions that involve tradeoffs. And you need to practice being in these situations so that you can learn how you might make decisions, determine what you value and why, and be able to convince others.

What type of student thrives in the MBA program at Regis? What sort of talents and abilities are useful in this program?

Driven students who want to improve themselves, their careers and the world around them. Students who are curious about how a whole business works and operates, how it grows, how it can connect with its customers and how it all can be improved are our best students. Students need to be self-starters, question askers, connection-makers and have a willingness to learn. Our MBA isn’t a ‘sit and get’ degree; you have to use the education, apply it and be willing to meet, influence and impact other people.

Is there anything else you’d like to mention about Regis University, the MBA program at Regis or business/entrepreneurship in general?

We have been one the largest MBA programs in the state for a while. You can throw a stone and hit one of our alumni in Denver and Colorado who are busy driving the local economy and making a difference in their communities

We are also the only Jesuit Catholic business school in this part of the country. Our Jesuit roots frame our MBA offering. That is important because we are asking our students to think differently about the power of business; the power to create value not only for itself and its customer, but also for society. This level of systems thinking makes for better businesses and a better world. The marker of a Jesuit business education is to consider what can be better about today and to go after it.
