About

Managing Director of KEA GmbH, specializing in the design, installation, and modernization of professional LED floodlighting systems for sports facilities. With a background as a Master Electrician in Energy and Building Technology, I combine technical expertise with entrepreneurial leadership. I am responsible for the strategic direction, financial management, and operational execution of projects, ensuring efficient delivery and high-quality results. Our core focus lies in large-scale sports lighting projects – from amateur clubs to professional stadiums. A key reference project is the complete LED conversion of the PreZero Arena (home of TSG Hoffenheim), where we implemented a modern, energy-efficient floodlighting system including DMX-controlled lighting scenes and RGBW stadium effects.
