Meet our Founder - Alexia Maas
A global executive and C-suite leader, Alexia Maas is a guiding compass for forward thinking enterprises and leaders. With a 30-year international business and legal career, she most recently served for over a decade as the General Counsel & Chief Legal Officer for Volvo Financial Services, a global financial services organization which - during her tenure - had over $25billion in managed assets and was regulated as a bank in 14 or the 48 countries in which it operated at the time.
Acting as a trusted adviser during high-profile global crises in highly regulated industries; building best-in-class legal & compliance departments, and effectively managing risk in rapidly evolving regulatory, geo-political and technology landscapes are just a few of the strengths she is known and recognized for.
With deep experience in Transformation & Change Management, Business Development & Growth Strategies, Compliance & Risk Management, Crisis Management, and People & Talent Development, Alexia is also renowned for her strong focus on execution with high impact and creative problem solving.
Alexia has always devoted herself to developing and helping peers and team members reach new heights in their career and helping them to excel in their current and future roles. She now spends some of her time to acting as a mentor and executive coach to GCs and other Executive Leaders and, as such, has adopted the informal title of “The GC Whisperer™”. For more information about Alexia's coaching & mentoring services, please see click here for Services.
Despite her previous hectic schedule as a C-Suite Executive, Alexia mastered how to recapture her own time and value and then introduced many of her methods to her team with equal success. To share her strategies with a much wider audience, Alexia has now authored a new book on this topic called “Stealing Back™ TIME” which is due for publication in early 2025. She speaks regularly at conferences as a keynote and panel speaker and leads workshops on a variety of topics including helping other leaders learn how they, too, can beat the hidden thieves of time and recalibrate their work/life balance.

Alexia says: “In our desire to do more with less, we often lose sight of what’s really important and by continuing to add things to our “to do” list, we lose control of our most precious resource: TIME. As the scope of our roles continues to expand, it becomes harder to identify the true priorities. Constantly doing more is easy. The hard part is finding ways to do less and still be productive where it counts. I help my clients, readers and colleagues find practical approaches to the challenges of today so they can recapture time and unlock their true value and potential.”
