Mentor Mike
President & CEO · Author · Educator

Known for his practical insights and purpose-driven approach to success, Dr. Maranan has built a career rooted in enterprise, service, and lifelong learning — experiences that now shape the message and mission behind his four books. His published works reflect not only his professional expertise, but also a personal journey marked by discipline, reinvention, resilience, and a deep desire to help others build lives and businesses that truly fit who they are.

As an author, Dr. Maranan writes from lived experience. His books are grounded in the realities of entrepreneurship, customs brokerage, logistics, leadership, and self-development — written not merely to inform, but to guide, encourage, and challenge readers to think more intentionally about work, business, and purpose.

"His writing remains anchored on one goal: to equip readers with wisdom they can actually use."

Beyond authorship, he is the President and CEO of Windfreight Express Total Logistics, Inc. and 88 Sunfreight Express Corporation, leading logistics, customs brokerage, and supply chain operations. He earned his Doctor of Business Administration from Thames International University, completed his Master in Management major in Logistics and Supply Chain Management at Philippine Christian University, and was conferred an Honorary Doctor of Humanities by United College of Brazil.

In academe, he teaches in the BS Customs Administration program at Lyceum of Alabang. He has represented the Philippines at global logistics and customs conferences across Asia, Europe, and Australia, and is the founder of the My Superhero Friends Foundation, Inc., dedicated to community development, education, health support, and humanitarian outreach.
