Senior Speaker at JENEWEIN
«Ich liebe die Abwechslung von Anspannung und Entspannung – körperlich, mental, intellektuell. Und das bringe ich auch in meine Arbeit mit Organisationen.»
Dr Jan-Laurenz Schneider, Partner & Speaker at JENEWEIN
Dr Jan-Laurenz Schneider knows what it means when companies have to start moving – and don’t know where to begin. As Senior Speaker and Partner at JENEWEIN, he guides international corporations and mid-sized companies through far-reaching transformations and restructurings. Always at the intersection of strategy, culture and structure. Always close to the people who have to carry the change.
His perspective is that of a rare hybrid: researcher and practitioner in one. With a doctorate from the University of St Gallen, experience at KPMG in strategy and corporate finance, and transformation projects at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and Bertelsmann – Jan-Laurenz Schneider has not only studied change, but shaped it. From financial services, the automotive industry and engineering, he brings a feel that combines theoretical depth with business reality.
In his keynotes and workshops, he creates spaces in which new thinking can be experienced. Clear. Direct. With the aim that, afterwards, people don’t just know more – they act differently.
