From part time student to CEO. 

Learn how CEO of Sana Commerce Michiel Schipperus made his move and how he hires for success.

When the future minister of finance of the Netherlands offered Michiel his first management job as a part time student, he thought he was joking. 

He wasn’t.

23 years later, Michiel is on a well-earned sabbatical, mulling over who to chose as the next CEO of B2B eCommerce success story Sana Commerce.

When you’re hiring anyone – make the hiring process it as close to real as possible, he recommends:

  • Find out if they have a learning mindset – give candidates a real business case to work with. 
  • Find a trusted person to judge their suitability for a management role – and believe them!

Join me for a very interesting conversation with a very experienced practitioner of the arts of leadership and management.
