Leedarson, a strategic partner and main supplier for LED lighting and smart LED solutions, was the first supplier in 2017 with whom we initiated audits on recycling and zero-waste solutions. Even then, Jiawei Renewable Energy Co., Ltd. had already fully converted its entire internal production to the use of its own solar farms (ZERO EMISSION). Leedarson pursued the same goal, which is why we carried out a comprehensive gap analysis. At that time, ISO 50001 had not yet been introduced.

Summary

I support industrial companies as an Executive Interim Consultant in the successful delivery of complex projects in the areas of Product Compliance, Product Stewardship, technical documentation, Environmental Compliance, and digital transformation processes.

With more than 25 years of industry experience, I combine technical know-how with strategic product management, international supply chain management, and regulatory expertise.

My focus is on developing sustainable compliance strategies, improving technical documentation, and digitalizing regulatory information processes across the entire product life cycle.

FMB Tec GmbH provides the organizational and contractual basis for my consulting and project assignments.

As Managing Director, I personally handled all customer projects – from the initial analysis through the development of sound strategies to the operational implementation within interdisciplinary project teams.

This gives clients a direct contact with strong decision-making authority, short communication lines, and a consistent focus on results.

Since 2025, I have been increasingly supporting long-term industrial projects in the environment of international corporations and technology market leaders.

Current focus areas include the analysis of regulatory substance information, the development of digital compliance structures, and the technical documentation of complex systems in line with national and international standards and directives.

My projects stand out through the combination of technical understanding, entrepreneurial thinking, and hands-on implementation skills. I work both at strategic management level and operationally, directly with development, purchasing, quality, product management, and engineering.
