LEANERS partners
Every business starts its growth journey with the vision and commitment of the people who build it. Our company, founded in 2018 in Vilnius by Robertas Šerėnas and Antanas Dubikaitis, started its story with their desire to spread a culture of continuous improvement in their organisations.
The former heads of public sector institutions, who are always interested in the best governance practices, have applied them in Lithuanian and foreign organisations. Projects in Ukraine, Turkey, France and many other countries are full of inspiring stories and the main heroes are our trusted partners, experts and clients.
With the addition of Gabriele Šerėnienė, who has a background in public and private sector communications, LEANERS today offers an even broader range of services that organisations need to thrive.
