Following her path
After an internship in medical informatics, Maja was drawn to HARTMANN.

"As a team, we learn from each other every day. Together, we’re able to solve complex problems quicker. Each team member contributes to the whole."
Diverse prospects in a people-oriented industry
Her team also works closely with medical professionals, caregivers and patients when developing new products, in order to be able to respond in a differentiated manner to their needs. Maja elaborates, “We work closely with our customers from the very beginning of the development process. This multi-professional collaboration helps us to explore whole new possibilities in diagnosis and therapy.”
Looking ahead, Maja adds, “Working in an industry with such a high potential for innovation, I look forward to keep working on new projects that really have an impact. I’m thinking about long-performance modern wound care products that not only meet the needs of customers, but tangibly help patients lead more active and fulfilling lives.” Maja can’t wait to tackle the next challenge with her team.
