Aroundhome is a recommendation platform for houseowners. With a comprehensive range of information and services relating to their own home and a team of 300 specialists, Aroundhome supports houseowners who live in their own property in carrying out major investment projects relating to their own home - from selling and investing to maintaining and repairing their property.
In addition, Aroundhome provides smart service tools such as checklists, calculators and high-quality content, which offer users recommendations for suitable and future-proof solutions.
Our mission
Your property is more than just a house. It is home and life project. Every change brings insecurities. Because every decision can be a wrong one - and expensive. We make it possible to make better decisions with good recommendations and to realize all large projects around the own home more stress-free. With orientation, individual advice and the mediation of suitable partners for all-round successful projects.
Aroundhome – Because it's your home.
My goal is to position Aroundhome in such a way that our actions and all our decisions are aligned with our customers and their needs at all times. It’s important to me that we build on our existing strengths and actively develop our team and organization. At the same time, I’d like to promote a culture in which, alongside customer orientation, transparency and personal responsibility are lived out every single day. At the end of the day, it’s the people working there who make the difference between a merely good and a sensational company. “You’re only as good as the people you hire” – that’s my firm conviction.
Hamburg-born Moritz Kothe has been Chief Executive Officer at Aroundhome since April 2021.

Prior to that, he held leading positions with the professional networking platform Xing and the German retailer Tchibo, among others.
As CFO, I see myself as a strategic business partner to the operational management team with a focus on growth, employee development, and entrepreneurship. My goal is to work with my team to create sustainable values for Aroundhome and achieve the defined corporate goals using the right key figures. I see my task as a manager to build up and develop high-performance and successful commercial and operational teams.
Thomas Bruns has been a Director and Chief Financial Officer of Aroundhome since September 2021. For the previous 10 years, he worked as a member of the board and CFO of the listed company MyHammer, in which capacity he succeeded in increasing the company’s value from under € 10 million to over € 160 million.
My team and I are building a next-generation technology platform at Aroundhome that will offer our users and partners a first-class service. Our passion is for a simple and lean software architecture and, with it, the satisfaction of developers, data and PaaS. I’m a strong advocate of the leader-leader model and agile ways of working, along the lines of: “Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.” (Michael Jordan).
Portuguese-born Hélder Martins has been Chief Technology Officer at Aroundhome since 2021. He developed his first software at the age of 15 and has been leading technology teams at kununu and Paddy Power Betfair, among other places, since 2001. During his time as Managing Director and Head of Technology at Paddy Power Betfair, he won several national “Best Place to Work” awards.
My focus is on making as many of our partners as possible successful with our products and on finding them the right projects with our users.
Our sales teams achieve this by understanding the challenges faced by specialist companies and offering sustainable solutions - in partnership and at eye level.

Wir bauen Aroundhome zu Deutschlands größtem Online-Makler für Produkte und Dienstleistungen rund ums Haus auf. Als CPO reichen meine Interessen daher von Technologie über Design bis hin zur „Kunst“, Dinge zu erledigen. Mein Leitsatz: Whatever the problem, be part of the solution.

My passion, together with my team, is to make sure that we at Aroundhome put our customers at the center of our thoughts and actions every day. Our goal is to help homeowners make better decisions by providing good recommendations. A high degree of personal responsibility and a constructive culture of making mistakes are particularly important to me, so that we learn something new every day.

Aroundhome ist dynamisch. Aroundhome ist herausfordernd. Aroundhome ist nie langweilig. Unser Markt dreht und ändert sich schnell, da sind wir im Category Management am Puls des Geschehens.
Ich bin jetzt drei Jahre dabei und lerne auch in meiner Rolle immer noch jeden Tag dazu. Ich habe Raum mich zu entwickeln und bekomme die Unterstützung, die ich brauche. Das Team ist cool, die Zusammenarbeit macht Spaß und für eine gute Work-Life-Balance ist gesorgt – das kenne ich aus der Consultancy noch anders. 😉 Was will man mehr?
I’ve been working for Aroundhome for almost 10 years, and that probably speaks for itself. I still feel as happy and at ease as I did the first day. In the end, it’s more than just an employer for me, because here I feel that I’m an important part of the whole. I work every day with people who I count as friends or even family. Definitely a perfect match for me. <3
At Aroundhome, team spirit and personal responsibility are particularly important.
In this environment, I don’t just have the chance to develop professionally and personally from day to day – I’m also constantly growing by rising to new challenges and can work on exciting projects.
If you imagine a place where there’s something suitable for everyone, everyone’s working together to achieve the same goal, where support isn’t just an empty word, but something lived out in everyday life, where I can be myself and at the same time a valuable part of the group, where passion and fun add spice to what we do, then that sounds and tastes like Aroundhome.
What moves me is the warmth, reliability, and helpfulness of the staff at Aroundhome.
I’ve really found my feet here and always have opportunities to develop, learn, and grow. I’m now running the People & Culture department where I work every day with a lot of passion and heart to ensure that our best employees are in the right place. This is the key to our success.
