GLOBAL HEAD OF THE 5TH FLOOR
MAXIMILIAN ZAPPA
What excites me about my work is the freedom to develop creative ideas together as a team and to constantly tackle new challenges. Nothing motivates me more than when our ideas have a real impact and initiate positive change. It is particularly exciting to see how talented people in our company continue to surpass themselves.
In my private life, I’m enthusiastic about almost any sport – whether it’s exploring new cycling routes or intense fitness sessions. Sport helps me to clear my head, push boundaries and return with fresh energy. Family and close friends are my safe haven and the core of my life.
If I wasn’t here, I would probably be exploring the world by bike – from country to country, from culture to culture. My dream? To open my own cozy café somewhere on this journey – a place for adventurers and globetrotters looking for new stories and encounters on their travels. A place where travelers can exchange ideas, make plans and recharge their batteries in a relaxed atmosphere. A meeting place full of life, stories and inspiration – that would be my vision.

In my job, it fills me with pride when I have successfully mastered a challenge.This gives me the motivation to tackle new tasks and develop myself further. My curiosity drives me forward, and people with a positive attitude always inspire me to give my best.
If I wasn’t working here and hadn’t already found my life’s calling as a mother, I would be running a charming hotel in a warm place. The idea of offering guests a special experience fascinates me.

COMMUNITY MANAGER
FABIENNE BAER
I am full of motivation to learn new things and take on challenges that allow me to grow personally and professionally. Every new step is an opportunity for me to surpass myself and develop further. Consistency is a core value for me and I am constantly working on living and consolidating this in both my professional and private life.
If I wasn’t working here and my role as a mother wasn’t already my fulfillment, I dream of running a small, charming store on a sunny coast somewhere. There I could enjoy the freedom of life by the sea, welcome people from all over the world and work creatively in a relaxed atmosphere.
