About Mastery Compass

Our journey, mission, and the values that guide our approach to executive leadership development

The history of Mastery Compass displayed in an interactive timeline

Our Story

Mastery Compass was founded in 2018 by a team of seasoned executives who recognized a critical gap in leadership development programs. While traditional business education excelled at teaching technical skills, it often neglected the nuanced capabilities required for effective organizational leadership.

Our founders combined their diverse experiences across industries—from technology and finance to manufacturing and healthcare—to create a new approach to executive education. They designed immersive, practice-based masterclasses that address real-world leadership challenges through experiential learning and peer collaboration.

Starting with just two masterclass offerings and a small team in Riga, we've grown to become Latvia's premier provider of executive leadership development. Today, we serve clients throughout the Baltic region and beyond, maintaining our commitment to transformative learning experiences that deliver measurable results.
