I work alongside family manufacturing owners on the shop floor and in the boardroom to identify real roadblocks, build practical succession systems, and develop the next generation of leadership. Everything is designed to be run by your people — when I leave, the systems stay.
A straight conversation — no slide deck, no pitch. I'll listen to your operational and succession challenges, share honest insight into what's actually at risk, and explain how The Legacy Succession System could help you transition the business without losing control or value.
Björn is a Swedish-born practitioner with nearly two decades in aerospace manufacturing at Volvo Aero (Now GKN Aerospace), roles progressing from operator to Managing Director level world wide. He helps family-owned manufacturing SMEs solve operational and leadership challenges while preserving the legacy that built the business.
Family business coaching helps owners and leaders tackle operational, leadership, and scaling challenges through systems that support growth, improve team dynamics, and protect business legacies.
It's built for family-owned manufacturing businesses ($25M– $100M revenue, 50–200 employees) preparing for generational transition. If you're ready to solve operational issues, develop successor leadership, and protect enterprise value through the handover, it's the right fit — if you want a quick exit, it isn't.
The Legacy Succession System is a six-month coaching partnership focused on successor leadership, operational systems that run without the founder, and governance that holds through transition. Investment is $150,000 upfront, with optional months at $30,000 after. A $2,500 webinar serves as the entry point.
