BAD HOMBURG, GERMANY - Maxon (www.maxon.net), the maker of software solutions for creators working in 2D and 3D design, motion graphics, and visual effects, has appointed Ksenia Kolchina vice president of marketing - a newly-created role. Kolchina’s arrival comes as the company looks ahead to 2026, a year that will be focused on sustainable expansion into new regions and markets.
Kolchina joins Maxon after leading brand and growth marketing at Audible Europe, an Amazon company, and holding senior roles across TV, film, gaming, streaming and music software. Her background combines a deep appreciation for creative culture with an analytical, results-driven mindset. In her new role, Kolchina will focus on shaping a global marketing function that supports Maxon’s long-term vision.
“Throughout my career, I’ve worked with creators – filmmakers, musicians, authors, and artists – people whose craft and passion drive cultural change as well as industry growth,” says Kolchina. “My experience has afforded me the opportunity to see firsthand how product innovation translates into creative output, and this is exactly what drew me to Maxon. It was immediately clear to me how engaged the company and its leadership are in the future of creators’ craft. I was especially drawn to the team’s stance on its role in the age of AI, seeing it as a powerful enabling tool – not a replacement for human talent. I’m excited to join a team that is so passionate about developing products that foster boundless creative expression.”
