Jan Balanyà Scholl

About

I was born in Barcelona and went to the German School of Barcelona. After graduating, I moved to Berlin, where I studied, lived, and worked for ten years before returning to Barcelona in 2023. In 2025, I met the amazing Feifei.

Professionally, I like taking things that are messy and making them work. That has been the throughline of my career so far.

At Credera, I managed international accounts for Volkswagen Group. Much of the job involved translating big strategic ideas into things that could survive contact with a sprint board and the legal department, while leading a team and helping my teammates develop.

These days, I help Service Club shape and execute its go-to-market approach for new markets, including Germany. That means building the marketing capabilities behind the expansion while managing client relationships as the company grows. I have a good eye for detail and an even better instinct for spotting the small thing that is about to become a big problem.
