Meet Maja, our new B2B communication manager
With her hands-on attitude and passion for outdoor marketing, Maja brings just the right mix of expertise and drive to our team. As B2B communication manager, she helps strengthen our communications with partners across Europe.
We asked Maja five questions about her professional background, daily routine, and experiences with remote work. Plus, we couldn’t wait to learn what personally connects her to komoot. Get to know our new team member.
Hi Maja! Please introduce yourself in a few sentences.
Hi! I’m Maja, B2B communication manager at komoot, living in the beautiful city of Hamburg in northern Germany — although, I’ll admit, I do miss the sunshine sometimes! I’m passionate about the mountains, especially when they meet the ocean, and I love being active outdoors. Whether it’s hiking, long walks, or yoga, I just need to move. I’m also a total bookworm and can easily lose myself in a good novel — perfect for those days when Hamburg’s weather is, well… a bit “northern.”
What do you do at komoot and what does a typical workday look like for you?
At komoot, my role is all about making our B2B brand visible. My goal is for partners across Europe not only to know about komoot for business but to actively leverage it for their outdoor marketing. My daily work is a mix of strategic implementation, collaborating with agencies, and coordinating with our team — a blend of creativity and organization that keeps things interesting.
What do you see as the benefits of a remote-first structure like the one at komoot?
For me, the remote-first approach at komoot strikes the ideal balance between flexibility and productivity. Working with a highly skilled international team is a huge advantage — and without the daily commute. I can work from anywhere, whether it’s with a mountain view, near the sea, or simply from home. This flexibility lets me recharge by heading straight into nature after work. Plus, I appreciate a work culture built on trust and independence.
What are your superpowers, professionally, and personally? When are you the go-to person?
My superpower is definitely my “hands-on” mentality. I once helped build a startup from the ground up, so I know the importance of jumping in and figuring things out as you go — my motto is: “Where there’s a will, there’s a way” I’m also pretty hard to throw off balance, which I credit to my yoga practice.
When it comes to questions about communicating our B2B offerings, I’m your go-to.
What connects you to komoot? And what kind of adventures do you enjoy?
What connects me to komoot is my passion for being active outdoors. With komoot, I keep discovering unique places and beautiful routes — whether on vacation or just outside my door. Without komoot, I’d probably miss out on many of these unique spots. The platform inspires me to get out regularly and share my experiences with others. Honestly, some of my favorite outdoor moments have been thanks to komoot.
My perfect adventure? A long hike in the mountains with an ocean view. And at the end of the day, a refreshing plunge into the sea before falling happily into bed, pleasantly exhausted.
