  She is Aarzoo, but could as well be ✨Staarzoo ✨… Or maybe that’s a stretch because the cliché nickname does not do her justice. Aarzoo has been an incremental part of the development of Maersk Growth over the past 2,5 years and have set her brilliant mark on most investments and initiatives run since then. Today, we are happy to celebrate her next chapter stepping into the role as Senior Investment Associate 👏👏👏 “Since joining Maersk Growth 2.5 years ago, the journey has been nothing short of exhilarating. Working alongside visionary founders tackling tough challenges in supply chain tech and driving the energy transition has been an incredible experience. In this role, I’ve not only grown professionally but also personally, and I’m eager to continue this path of learning and collaboration with our talented team. Looking ahead, I’m thrilled to dive even deeper into the technological innovations that will help us drive Maersk’s Net Zero 2040 mission forward, through strategic investments and partnerships with cutting-edge innovators.” Aarzoo shares. Help us celebrate Aarzoo and her great new achievement!
  
• PortFest 2024 was many things☝️ 💡Bringing bright minds together 🤝Fostering new connections 🍧Serving Innovation Insights & Ice Cream 🍸Mingling at Cocktail Cosmos 📢Participating in meaningful conversations But mostly, the event was an opportunity for us to gather the founders from our portfolio on our home turf and proudly introduce them to the network we engage with daily, being both our colleagues at the historic A.P. Moller - Maersk HQ and the startup ecosystem gathered at TechBBQ. When planning the event, we set the bar and our expectations high 💯 Last week, as we wrapped up the last day of the PortFest, we realised that not only were those met - they were exceeded in any way possible. This, thanks to our brilliant founders, colleagues and network who joined us with a genuine interest, curiosity and eagerness to share, learn, spar and grow. Thank you all from the entire team of Maersk Growth💙 Are you curious about a recap? We've got you! 🎬Aarzoo Sharma, Alex Smout, Alexa Ríos, Alexandra Ciobotaru, Elizabeth Gunner Schermer, Frida Ohms Vad, Ida Christine Brun, Laxman Phansalkar, Mads Hebbelstrup, Max Wiest, Neha Bhomia, Olivia Lyng
  
• Did you stumble across the blue wave in the middle of the BBQ? 🌊 If not, here's a glimpse! This year's TechBBQ was something different! Not only did we meet many of you at our booth, but we also got to introduce our portfolio companies to the vibrant Nordic ecosystem, hosted our first - but not last - Cocktail Cosmos with co-hosts Regeneration.VC and HHLA Next, and took part in inspiring conversations across the various stages at the venue. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, said hi, took a bet on the Lego ship, pitched their companies with passion and made TechBBQ the outstanding event it always is! See you all next year! 👋

We truly are the luckiest team having you join us full time! "After two incredible and insightful years with Maersk Growth, as a student assistant, I am thrilled to officially join the team full-time. It has been an exciting journey, from just completing my Master’s at Copenhagen Business School, along with the CEMS MiM, to gaining some prior hands-on experience in a logistics startup with a fantastic team and in a great year in consulting with outstanding and supportive colleagues. In this new chapter, I am very eager to continue connecting with visionary startup founders, supporting them as they bring innovative solutions to life. I am excited to finally work full-time together towards digitizing, democratising and decarbonising the shipping and logistics industry, with the power of Maersk in the back as a very ambitious industry incumbent with many ambitious and talented colleagues. I am always happy to connect, do not hesitate to reach out!" Help us welcome Max to this new and exciting chapter of life!👏
