I help fast-moving entrepreneurs and their go-to-market leaders tell stories that move people to action.  

I am a Brand and Communications strategist with over two decades of experience in advising leadership teams on ways to ignite growth, fuel momentum and stay on top through effective communications. 

My experience has trained me to never lose the outside perspective. Being deep ‘in the trenches’ as you are building a company makes it difficult to set the complexity aside and keep it simple, yet impactful. I help you maintain clarity on what truly matters to those you wish to take with you.

What people I’ve worked with had to say.

  • “Working with Maja is deep identity work disguised as a communications strategy. When I started partnering with her, I had a successful climate tech company and a scattered set of intellectual interests — what I needed wasn't a press strategy, it was someone willing to push me on what I actually wanted to build, and then help me say it. Over a few months of deep conversations, she helped me move from "founder of a cooling intelligence tech company" to a much more strategic orientation: rethinking how innovation capital gets deployed in service of systems-level change. The deliverable wasn't a deck — it was a clarified point of view, a set of narrative strands I could own, and a pragmatic plan to put them to work through writing, events, and network activation.”

    — Manik Suri, Founder, GlacierGrid

  • “Maja is the consummate strategic consultant. In our years working together, I witnessed her time and time again get to the heart of her client’s business challenges and through application of intelligent insights, coupled with instinctive media nous, she built and told their stories effectively - leading to real positive change. She worked closely with editors to create content that both appealed and mattered, whether working with fast-moving start-up clients or established blue chip corporates.”

    — Lee Nugent, EVP & APAC Director, Archetype

  • “Maja was the Head of Marketing and Communications (effectively, our CMO) at Teralytics during my period as CEO. Maja’s ability to synthesize complex topics and turn them into easy-to-understand messaging, and her ability to align product, sales and marketing to create an effective go-to-market plan made her invaluable to us.”

    — Dave Reed, CEO, mrge

  • “Maja was instrumental to growing our brand (Lookout) in the UK, where we went from unknown to major player. The three things that really stood out: her strong strategic mindset, always evaluating and looking for new opportunities both long and short-term; her strong, trusted network of media and influencers; and finally Maja is simply a joy to work with!”

    — Patty Tredway, Head of PR, Benchling

  • “Maja is a highly talented marketing and communications strategist who can do it all: from high level strategic thinking to execution. I had the immense pleasure to work with her in a previous business that struggled to find a coherent and holistic brand narrative - which Maja successfully delivered with limited resources while relaunching the website and landing articles in top-tier media titles!”

    — Eileen Rüter, Business Development and Marketing Director, Agricarbon

  • “Maja helped me move beyond improving the status quo to making space for my soul’s true calling — ensuring my work, life, and purpose align in this one precious, wild life.”

    – Neo Moreton, Founder, URBANOM
