Our story
In 2023, Maikel founded LeadWise to make a positive contribution to employee happiness around the globe, which is highly affected by the quality of the managers and leaders employees work with.
​
Between 2013 and 2023, he was a successful sales leader at Google, known for his authentic style and customer-centric approach. Trained to become a successful manager at Google he realized not everyone has access to great training programs and resources to guide them in their leadership journey.
​
Together with experts in leadership development, Maikel created a new solution to lower the barriers - often time and money - to participate in management training programs.
With our innovative Emerging Leaders Program eLearning, new and aspiring managers can now get themselves prepared for their important jobs at a fraction of the time investment and costs of regular management training programs.
With only 15 minutes of weekly video content for a period of 10 weeks and at a competitive rate of €349, no one will ever need to start a management job without the right preparation any more.​

Our mission
​​​Driven by our belief that everyone deserves a great manager, our mission is to guide new managers globally to unlock their leadership potential, improve their employees' happiness and supercharge their business success.​​
