Welcome to The Water MBA! I’m Ramon Rubio, and I’m thrilled to have you here.
I built this with one simple idea:
The Water MBA exists to turn lived experience into shared knowledge, so water professionals don’t just learn faster, but think clearer, act better, and stay relevant in a changing industry.
The Water MBA is a digital business school dedicated to the personal and professional transformation of water professionals🏆, with a strong culture of authenticity, community and belonging at its core.
Our brand is built around three core values: authenticity, closeness and a strong sense of belonging.
We believe that a powerful brand is not just about what you communicate, it is about the culture you create and the people who become part of it.
Our purpose is simple: to create real transformation in water professionals, both personally and professionally, by helping them solve problems.
And we mean problems at every level — from the simplest individual challenges to the complex collective challenges facing our industry and our world.
🤝 We believe problems can be solved through education, networking, help, collaboration and partnerships.
That is why The Water MBA brings together practical knowledge, learning opportunities and, above all, a community of people willing to share their experience, connect with others and help each other move forward.
But transformation also happens beyond the water industry. By connecting water professionals with other industries, disciplines and perspectives, we can broaden our vision, anticipate change, identify new opportunities and become better prepared for a constantly evolving world.
Ultimately, The Water MBA is about people, knowledge and connections, turning them into solutions and positive impact.
We are building this initiative with a clear ambition:
And if you want to be part of it, contribute, participate or help us build it, we’d be very happy to have you with us.
How to enjoy The Water MBA
One core idea, many ways to experience it.
At The Water MBA, the culture stays the same but we know that everyone learns, connects and consumes content differently.
So we are building different ways to be part of the journey:
1. 🌐 Our Website — The Core
This is where everything starts. You’ll find our publications designed to put your brain to work: looking at topics from different angles, analysing industry updates, going behind the scenes, sharing conversations from the corridors — and, above all, sharing knowledge.
2. 🎙️ Our Podcast — Listen, Watch & Discover
On our website, enjoy the full video experience, together with written analysis and reflections around each conversation.
Prefer YouTube? We share key 5–10 minute segments and some shorts.
Prefer audio? You’ll find the complete podcast on Spotify.
And our guests? Incredible people from across the water industry. You’ll notice.
You can also follow us on Instagram for short reels and updates.
3. 🎓 Our Courses — Learn from the Real World
We are building a growing range of courses with international instructors who know the business from the ground up.
Desalination. Artificial Intelligence. Water Reuse. Social Media. And much more to come…
Practical knowledge from people who actually do it.
4. 🧠 Our Knowledge Hub — Discover the Water Universe
For annual paid members, the Knowledge Hub is where we are building our digital water knowledge universe — designed for an entertaining and continuous discovery process.
You’ll find also:
🌍 An international water events & webinars tracker
📚 A curated water books database
💼 A selection of water job opportunities
💡 A space for community feedback, ideas and synergies
We keep updating it as we discover new and interesting things. Come back from time to time — you never know what you’ll find.
5. 🤝 Our WhatsApp Community — Yes, Another Group!
Don’t worry… it’s not like your family WhatsApp group or the school parents’ group. 😄
It’s a community of mature water professionals exchanging questions, ideas and experiences from time to time.
And we have specific groups around topics such as desalination, water stewardship, digital & AI, flooding and more.
There are already some great people inside.
And this is only the beginning.
The Water MBA is a human project that we are building together.
New ideas, new formats, new connections and new features will keep coming.
It’s about becoming part of something.
Welcome to The Water MBA community!!
