Swedish term or phrase: "kreatör som exekutör"
I have a feeling that this is some kind of saying.

Sentence given: (quotation marks sic)

Ledningen består av ett sammansvetsat team av såväl ”kreatörer som exekutörer” och som, med ett undantag, arbetat ihop sedan företaget bildades.

creators and executors
Explanation:
Probably refers to organizational roles of which these mentioned are just two examples (hence perhaps the såväl som expression). Again, the context determines the final choices but I would just say that there are creators and executors in the management team. Other roles could be e.g. Advancer and Refiner.

creators and enforcers [alike]


Explanation:
Creators can be kept here [why not] and enforcers is what the Swedish text puts forward there is hardly any "creator - executer" polarity here, not in the sense of "a giver and taker of life" anyway.
