Maymann specializes in the foundation and development of technology and media service, telecom and NGO companies.

On January 15, 2024, Maymann will replace the incumbent CEO, Johnny Hartnett. As a result of this corporate change, Hartnett will step down and will join the board as a non-executive director.
