Independent advice from someone who has built traceability systems for 30+ companies that work in practice.
EUDR is one regulation with many interpretations. Solution providers use different deforestation maps and different legality assessments. Buyers test your due diligence system with different questions, and sometimes it is not clear they understand those questions themselves. A plot that passed one review may fail the next buyer's. You end up defending a system against standards nobody wrote down. What works in practice is knowing which parts of your system you can defend, and to whom.
Independent. I ran the Indonesia business at a traceability provider. I know how providers sell, and where each one is strong and where it is weak. I take no fees or referrals from any platform. My advice follows your needs, not a product.
Traceability beyond EUDR. EUDR is built on the fundamentals of traceability. I built traceability and compliance systems in agricultural supply chains before the regulation existed.
Producer country experience. Many advisors work from Europe. I have built these systems for companies from Indonesia to Ivory Coast to Ecuador, and run them on the ground. I know what works in practice.
Cost that makes sense. Compliance should support commercial success, not become a new cost center. I focus on what works at a reasonable cost, not on ideal scenarios that only create additional headache for procurement teams.
Operators based in Europe who have already started. You have a system, a vendor or a plan, but you lack resources to execute it. You need senior support to get through it, not a report that tells you what you already suspect.
Operators based in Europe who have NOT started. You just realized you need to become EUDR compliant and are unsure where to start. I will help you step by step through the process.
Small and Medium Size Exporters. You lack sustainable sourcing expertise. You may already have a system or not, and you may struggle to meet buyer requirements. I am here to help.
"Should we build this in-house or buy it, and how do we design the process?"
"There are too many EUDR platforms. We do not know which one fits us."
I take no fees or referrals from any platform.
"Every buyer asks for something different. We cannot keep up."
"We pay for a platform, but we cannot explain or defend what it does."
"Our suppliers do not send the data we ask for."
If your situation is not on this list but you are struggling with EUDR, describe it to me. I will tell you straight whether I am the right person.
I join your team for a defined period as senior capacity and work on live decisions with you. The scope is agreed in advance.
A first block produces a written recommendation on the decision you brought me, and a plan for the next 30 days.
For small and medium companies. Short, independent answers to specific questions, by call, email or WhatsApp.
Each month: One call and up to five written questions, answered within two working days. Cancel any month. If a question needs a deeper look at your business, I will recommend a hands-on block instead.
Standby answers are independent advice based on the information you share. They are not a legal opinion or a compliance certification.
Speaking: RSPO and GPSNR, on digital traceability and smallholder inclusion.
Languages: German (native), English (fluent), Indonesian and Spanish (limited working proficiency).
CV and references on request.
