Maxie Matthiessen

I am an internationally award-winning serial entrepreneur with a passion for women's health and social impact. I have founded two companies, Ruby Cup and FEMNA Health. Ruby Cup is a pioneer period company with a designated social mission to give all girls and women access to sustainable female hygiene. FEMNA Health is the first tele-medicine platform in Germany that offers home-diagnostics and health consultations to women's health.

Prior to becoming an entrepreneur, I worked in corporate strategy & development, drafted studies for the UN General Assembly, consulted on micro-finance topics, and organized high-level roundtable discussions at the EU Parliament.

I hold a Master degree in International Business & Politics and Bachelor degree in Business, Language & Culture from the Copenhagen Business School and was a visiting student at the Universidad Autónoma (Madrid) and University of California (Berkeley).
