It was just another train ride. But for Jasmin Schroder, that ordinary moment turned into the beginning of an extraordinary life transformation. While traveling to visit her hypnotherapist in another city, she had a sudden idea for her first startup. That night, she dreamt vividly about the brand, even the colors. The next day, without hesitation, she took action.
“I just knew I had to move forward,” she says. “Everything changed after that, and in the best way possible.”
Jasmin’s journey is anything but typical. A woman of vision, resilience, and passion, she’s carved her own path across industries and countries. Today, she stands as a strong figure in Dubai’s booming real estate development sector, while continuing to inspire others with her story of grit, reinvention, and success.
Early Career Roots in Finance
Before becoming a founder and entrepreneur, Jasmin Schroder was deeply rooted in the world of finance. She advised startups, built business plans, and worked on funding pitches. Her career began in banking, specifically in asset and wealth management.
“I was always around business ideas and investments,” she recalls. “But I was also learning how to see the bigger picture, not just numbers, but vision and people.”
Her early exposure gave her an edge. She understood the mechanics of success and the importance of building the right foundation. Even in those early years, real estate played a key role in her career.
“It’s been part of the story from day one,” she says.
Entrepreneurial Leap and Global Expansion
Taking the leap from finance to entrepreneurship wasn’t easy, but Jasmin made it look seamless. She launched her first company in Germany, learning every aspect of the business world through trial and error. Then, she expanded into Singapore, building her second company from the ground up.
“My first two companies are my proudest achievements,” she says. “There were so many obstacles. But I never gave up. That journey taught me everything.”
She’s candid about the path. It wasn’t smooth, but every challenge became a lesson. “It was a way full of stones,” she laughs, “but I needed every one of them.”
These experiences equipped her with a powerful perspective and the confidence to embrace new opportunities wherever they arose.
A New Chapter in Dubai
Now based in Dubai, Jasmin has found the perfect place to combine all her passions: finance, networking, real estate, and development. Her current role allows her to do what she does best structure deals, nurture relationships, and bring people together.
“Dubai is full of energy and possibilities,” she says. “The real estate wave is still strong. Demand is growing. It’s the right time and place to be.”
Jasmin works on projects that serve not just investors, but families and communities. She’s proud of the quality her developments offer, from residential spaces to premium schools.
“When you see families happy in their homes or students thriving in our schools, it’s the most fulfilling feeling,” she shares.
Balancing Motherhood and Business
Three years ago, Jasmin faced a new personal challenge becoming a single mother. For many, this would be overwhelming. For Jasmin, it became her next chapter of growth.
“Being a mom, especially a single mom, changes everything,” she says. “I had to manage life with less energy, less sleep, and more responsibility.”
But instead of slowing down, she leveled up. Time management became her superpower. Every minute of the day mattered.
“It taught me how to function under pressure. You learn what really counts and how strong you really are.”
Her ability to juggle motherhood and leadership is a testament to her resilience. “It’s not easy, but it’s possible,” she says with a smile.
The Power of Relationships
One of Jasmin’s strongest beliefs is in the value of long-term genuine relationships. She credits much of her success to her ability to build trust and keep it.
“Some of my clients have been with me since day one, 20 years ago,” she says. “It’s a completely different way of working when there’s trust and respect.”
For Jasmin, business isn’t just about numbers or deals. It’s about people. She aims to create relationships that benefit both sides and believes this is the real secret to long-term success.
“That’s my goal, to grow with the company, to grow myself, and to grow with the people around me.”
Lessons From the Journey
Jasmin doesn’t shy away from failure. In fact, she encourages it.
“Don’t be afraid of a no. Don’t be afraid to fail,” she says. “You’ll hear many no’s. You’ll fail sometimes. And that’s good it means you’re trying.”
She believes failure is a stepping stone, not a stop sign. And she urges young professionals, especially women, to keep moving forward.
“It won’t fall from the sky. You have to go out and make it happen.”
Creating Impact That Lasts
More than just profits or titles, Jasmin is proud of the impact her work has on real people. From families living in high-quality residential communities to students attending her schools, she sees the difference her projects make.
“We deliver next-level quality,” she says. “Our schools are the best in Dubai. Go and see it for yourself.”
She hopes to be remembered not just for building businesses, but for giving back.
“It makes me proud to be part of something that improves lives,” she says. “That’s what success means to me.”
A Final Message
Jasmin Schroder is not just a businesswoman. She’s a force. From train rides to startup dreams, from motherhood to multimillion dollar developments, her story is one of heart, hustle, and hope.
“Haha, go ahead! Everything will be fine,” she says cheerfully. “And don’t waste your time on negative relationships.”
If there’s one thing her life proves, it’s this great things happen when you believe in yourself and just start.
