In our fifth and final MaaSterminds episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Krista Huhltala-Jenks, a trailblazer in transforming the mobility landscape. Unlike many MaaS advocates who focus on a single organization, Krista's journey involved catalyzing change across various fronts, including spearheading legislative reform in the Finnish transport sector — a pivotal step in Finland's MaaS evolution. Her experience spans esteemed institutions such as MaaS Global and the MaaS Alliance, shaping her rich and dynamic career path.

Krista delves into a range of topics, including:

• The evolution of Finland as a MaaS innovator
• Navigating challenges in legislative reform
• Fostering collaboration and breaking down barriers in the MaaS ecosystem
• Future prospects for MaaS

...and much more.

In this fourth episode we meet Martin Rörhleef who launched the first ever combined mobility service already in 2006, Hannover Mobile, after a two year pilot at Üstra, the Hannover Public Transport Operator. We explore the challenges and benefits of setting up and running a MaaS operation within a public organization – and doing it years before the iPhone was introduced! Martin is also known for the often used "Three MaaS market models".

In this episode we discuss:

• The importance of enthusiasts – and endurance – in making new things happen
• The advantage of having to focus on the actual offer and partnerships instead of an app 
• The pros and cons of a public MaaS service compared to commercial MaaS
• If there is any good examples of MaaS today

...and many other things

In the third episode of MaaSterminds, we meet Michael Kiesslinger, the founder and CEO of Fluidtime, a Vienna-based powerhouse of MaaS platforms. We explore a key function within the MaaS ecosystem - the technical platform - and Michael shares valuable insights from his two decades as a trailblazer in this field.

In this episode we discuss:

• How interaction design and computational music are useful backgrounds for a career in MaaS
• Why we should have been more realistic in the early stages of MaaS
• The healthy and diverse future of MaaS developments
• The shift from platform provider to a MaaS-as-a-Service operator
