Our approach

We take responsibility – for a defined period or for the long term.

Who we are

Two perspectives. One standard.

As an entrepreneurial couple, we combine hands-on executive leadership with entrepreneurial DNA and finance leadership with operational depth. Our aim is not to be visible, but to leave an impact that lasts.

Why we exist

Leading and investing, from the same mindset.

Schneiders Ventures is the family business of Loretta and Jens Schneiders, based in Costa Teguise on Lanzarote. Since 2020 we have brought together here what shapes both of us professionally: taking on responsibility in companies when it matters.

This has grown into two pillars. In interim management, each of us takes on our own mandates, Jens at C-level, Loretta in finance and accounting. With investments we go one step further and contribute capital as well as experience, for the long term and with our own hands-on work.

How we work

From the first conversation to an orderly handover.

01

Understand the situation

In the first conversation we clarify the starting point, role, authority and goals – openly and without sales slides.

02

Take responsibility

We step in without a long induction and take on the role, not just a project.

03

Restore the ability to act

Structure, clear decisions and processes the team can carry itself.

04

Hand over cleanly

Documented, with overlap – to an organization that works without us.
