Maxi is a standout finance exec who genuinely cares about understanding how a business runs, not just the numbers. This makes her advice incredibly valuable—she doesn’t just hand over financial statements; she provides real insights and forward-thinking suggestions that help business leaders make smarter decisions.

She’s great at building strong finance and ops teams and can hold her own in any boardroom, especially when strategy is on the table. I had the chance to work with Maxi through a few budget cycles, and I learned so much from her clear, thoughtful approach. If you’re looking for a finance partner who brings more than just spreadsheets to the table, Maxi is your person. I’d recommend her without hesitation.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Maximilian Glas for over four years, during which she served as the European Finance Director. Maxi’s impact on the business was nothing short of transformative. She spearheaded the setup of a global shared service center, streamlining and standardising financial processes across multiple regions, which brought incredible efficiency and alignment to our operations.

Beyond her technical skills, Maxi’s leadership style is collaborative and supportive. She has an exceptional ability to bring people together, fostering a culture of trust and accountability. I highly recommend Maxi to any organisation looking for a top-tier finance leader who can drive positive, lasting change.

Maxi Glas was the European Financial Controller and Head of the Global Financial Shared Services Center when we worked together on a CFO-sponsored project to introduce internal and external business performance benchmarks. The benchmarking was based on financial KPIs and ratios and had the goal to enable management decision-making to properly size the organization.

I want to thank Maxi not only for the mind-provoking performance reviews but especially for her coaching style: she would never just present me with the facts but lead me to understand what was going on in the business - a real learning opportunity!
