Biography

Pierre Schneider was born to Jewish parents in Luxembourg in 1937. During the war, his family was forced to flee their home, leaving the country with one of the last ministers of the government. After a passage via France, they arrived in Portugal where they stayed in a refugee center near Lisbon. Pierre’s father, Jaengi, worked for the local Red Cross, helping refugees settle in Portugal, and helping others escape to Latin America and the United States. After returning home to Luxembourg after the war, Pierre was boarded in a school in Luxembourg City where he worked to reacquaint himself with the country that he had left as a young boy. Having continued his studies in Switzerland in the 1950s, Pierre returned home to Luxembourg where he worked in the raw materials industry, eventually founding an international trading company supplying raw materials to the steel industry. Later in his professional career, Pierre became a successful investor in private equity.
