Malin Dettmann-Levin

Maija and I worked together as Country Managers at Milrab. Maija was the Country Manager for Finland and she brought great marketing and market knowledge to the team supported by her previous experiences. Apart from her technical knowledge, I believe her attention to detail, creative eye and empathy makes her a strong marketer. She is structured, analytical and constantly comes with new ideas and initiatives. Maija brings the most positive attitude to the job - she helps you when you need support and cheers you when you’ve done something good. She is a great win for every team or company she will join and I would be more than happy to work together with her again!

I have been working closely with Maija for the past two and a half years as she has been the Affiliate Marketing Manager at Zalando SE. From the first time we started to work together I was immediately impressed with her level of professionalism and willingness increasingly strive for making mutual goals happen. Maija is an excellent communicator and is able to break down complex concepts into understandable and applicable solutions. Maija has an excellent eye for detail and is all round very reliable and pleasant professional to work with. Big thumbs up!
