Back to original languageAbout Swantje
Strategic Generalist for Business Development & Product Management
From idea to profitable operation - structured, fast, effective
I combine strategic clarity with operational execution power. As a Business Developer and Product Manager, I help service companies and scale-ups successfully launch new products and business models, sharpen structures, and sustainably increase performance.
My sweet spot is where strategy meets operations: I think holistically, recognizing early how processes, stakeholders, numbers, and customer experiences interlock – and I intervene precisely where impact is created.
Experience & Results (Selection):
- Building and launching a mobility brand from 0 to six-figure revenue within a year
- Market entries and operational launches of the brand in DE, AT, CH, ES, IT, FR, and Guadeloupe within < 12 months
- Restructuring a branch operation with a 20% cost reduction within six months and restoring profitability
- Developing business plans, go-to-market strategies, and customer journeys for start-ups, NGOs, and service companies
- Co-founder of a GmbH in the premium wellness segment
I enjoy working in dynamic environments, bringing order to complexity, and holding all the threads together – from the strategic guiding idea to operational implementation. Give me a goal, and the structure for it will be in place faster than others open the project plan.
