WORK HISTORY

ABOUT MAJA JANZEN

I am passionate about Sports - growing up with track and field and swimming I always enjoyed being surrounded by passionate people. I have over 10 year work experience in managing national and international events - my expertise lies in project management, partnership management and marketing & communications for mass participation events. I used to work for the biggest Tri in the World, the ITU WORLD TRIATHLON HAMBURG and have developed the first ever ITU event in Bermuda to success over the last four years. Currently, I am working for Upsolut Sports as the Team Manager (COO)- my role in the future will change to a data driven approach to bring our business to the next level - with Christian Toetzke, Moritz Fürste, Michael Trautmann and the team we have created a new sport, HYROX. HYROX is inspired by a simple idea. Millions of athletes all over the world who don’t play sports but prefer functional fitness or working out at the gym, don’t have a measurable competition. Now, HYROX is the new goal for fitness enthusiasts! In my role I am leading all operational processes and the key milestones for the team globally. In the future I will especially focus on the data driven company approach and will lead the implementation of data management system and data driven decisions within the company. Global work experience - North America, Bermuda, UK, Sweden, Spain, Netherlands People describe my work ethic as dedicated, efficient, loyal, fast and most of all, ambitious.
