ABOUT
Rent My MBA exists because Uganda's pharmacy industry runs on people doing real work, often without the operational support that makes that work last. We close that gap — practically, locally, and without the consulting theatre.
Many owners come from clinical backgrounds and treat operations as paperwork. We treat operations as the actual product — because that's where pharmacies make or lose money.
A clear five-year plan is worthless if your inventory is wrong on Monday. We work on the layer most consultants skip — the day-to-day systems that make the strategy real.
URA, NDA, LPO financing, Ugandan supplier dynamics — these aren't footnotes, they're the work. We build advice on what's true here, not on imported playbooks.
The Founder
Not the other way around.
Dr. Derrick Jjuuko · Founder & Principal Consultant
Dr. Derrick Jjuuko trained as a pharmacist at Mbarara University of Science & Technology. Five years inside the Ecopharm group — first as a medical rep at Boots Pharmaceuticals, then leading Marketing & IT Operations at the parent company — before earning his MBA from the University of South Wales while still in the industry. That order matters.
Most consultants advising pharmacy businesses in Uganda have only seen one part of the chain. Rent My MBA brings together clinical training, hospital sales experience, operations leadership, and an MBA earned in the field — applied to the specific reality of running a pharmacy here.

Approach
First call is 30 minutes, no charge. We figure out together whether what you need is consulting, training, or just a few hours of advice.
Every engagement has a defined outcome. "Improve your operations" isn't a scope — "reduce stockouts by 50% in 90 days" is.
If the answer to your question is one conversation, we'll tell you. If it's a six-month engagement, we'll tell you that too. Honesty costs less in the long run.
Frameworks adapted to Ugandan reality. We don't import McKinsey decks and pretend they fit.
