Juan Collins
I had the pleasure of closely collaborating with Maja during the critical phase of scaling up ngena for our company's global expansion as a premier managed service provider. Maja's exceptional skills were apparent as she effortlessly navigated across geographical and cultural boundaries, ensuring a seamless transition for our organization. Maja's unique combination of strategic vision and operational expertise has propelled our organization forward, enabling us to streamline our operations and achieve our targets efficiently. However, what truly distinguishes Maja is her extraordinary ability to connect with individuals on a deeply personal level, inspiring them to unlock their full potential. Her genuine curiosity about people's stories and experiences creates a strong sense of fellowship and inclusivity within the team, which ultimately drives collaboration and fuels our collective success. Maja's remarkable talents and unwavering commitment make her an invaluable asset to any team. I am confident that her personal touch will undeniably impact any organization fortunate enough to have her on board. I wholeheartedly recommend Maja to any organization seeking a charismatic, talented, and experienced COO who is not only capable of driving growth and delivering valuable results but also fostering a genuinely supportive and inclusive work environment where every individual thrives.

I had the pleasure of working with Maja in her role as COO on the board of ngena GmbH to scale up the company from 170 to more than 300 employees in 8 locations, with 36 nationalities and thus highly diverse cultures in a very short time. Maja has managed in a very efficient and at the same time sensitive way to establish the most effective supply and service chains through lean processes. Her understanding of business and technology on the one hand and leadership on the other makes her a fantastic leader and incredibly pleasant colleague that any ambitious company would be happy to have. Please keep up the good work! Wishing for more challenges together.
