Jacob Tarn Appointed LEDVANCE CEO

February 1, 2018

In his new role as Chairman of the Management Board and new CEO of LEDVANCE, lighting industry veteran Jacob C. Tarn will focus on accelerating the company’s transformation from a traditional lamps manufacturer to a full LED lighting company.

Previously Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Samsung Electronics’ LED business unit, in South Korea, Dr. Tarn played a crucial role in turning the business around.

“LEDVANCE has all it takes to become a key player in the global LED lighting market and has already successfully expanded into growth areas such as LED luminaires, smart home solutions and LED lamps,” says Tarn. “I look forward to working with the entire LEDVANCE team to continue on this path at an accelerated pace, turn LEDVANCE into an innovative full LED lighting company and thereby consequently seize the opportunities that lie in front of us.”

Rüdiger Tibbe, who served as interim CEO, will continue to be responsible for the operational execution of the company transformation as Chief Transformation Officer at LEDVANCE.
