Johannes Maas
Chief Sales Officer
Chief Sales Officer
Johannes has always been a sports enthusiast. So, it's no coincidence that his career began at sporting goods manufacturer Amer Sports, which owns iconic brands such as Arc'teryx, Wilson, and Salomon. As a project and program manager for large, global rollouts, he gained direct insight into the entire breadth of the business world of sport.
His next stop took him to Intersport, one of the largest sports retailers in the world, where he worked as Head of Corporate Development.
Inspired by the idea of using data to shape the future of sports retail, he joined emnos, where today, as Chief Sales Officer, he is turning his vision of bringing the two sides of the same coin - sports retail and sporting goods manufacturers - together and making them successful through genuine collaboration into reality.
