Our Story

Leaders Excellence held its first meeting in 2014 at the Harvard Faculty Club with a select group of founding members and fellows—the same year it was incorporated in Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts. At this gathering, President Dan Hoeyer outlined the vision for Leaders Excellence:

“Our vision is to connect leaders worldwide by making high-quality business education and lifelong learning accessible, flexible, and affordable. Through innovation and a robust academic network, we aim to empower individuals and organizations to achieve their goals and create meaningful impact globally.”

Leaders Excellence at Harvard Square is a global provider of online executive education and lifelong learning. Since 2014, we’ve empowered 10,000+ professionals worldwide through Mini-MBA programs, certificates, and a selective membership network.

Located in the heart of Cambridge, Massachusetts, Harvard Square is a renowned hub of knowledge, innovation, and thought leadership. Surrounded by Harvard University’s rich academic tradition, it provides an inspiring backdrop for our mission.

Affiliated with AACSB International and the Harvard Square Business Association, we educate global professionals to the highest standards within a vibrant learning community. Supported by renowned scholars and honorary fellows such as Philip Kotler, our network spans leading institutions worldwide.

Independent of Harvard University, we remain committed to excellence, flexibility, and affordability in all our programs and membership offerings.
