Kristen Swanson

Business Growth Architect | Strategic Integrator| Culture Activator

About Me

I’m Kristen Swanson—a former President and long-time beauty industry executive who’s passionateabout building what’s next. I’ve partnered with brands, retailers, salons, and spas to reimagine what’s possible—leading teams through growth, transformation, and reinvention.

I’m a builder at heart, with a deep appreciation for the balance between operational excellence, creative energy, and a thriving team culture. I believe real transformation happens when strategy and soul work together—when people feel seen, heard, and empowered to deliver their best work.

Today, through Olive Growth Partners, I serve as a consultant, fractional leader, and business partner—supporting purpose-driven organizations and brands through moments of change, challenge, and opportunity.
