Trevor Young to take over as Chief Executive Officer of FläktGroup as of March 1, 2024, at which point Hubertus Mühlhäuser will resume his original, non-executive role as Chairman of the Shareholder Committee.
Trevor has been with FläktGroup for 12 years in various roles, lately as Chief Sales Officer and Chief Officer for the Americas including SEMCO & Woods US, FläktGroup’s branch in the US. Trevor has a profound knowledge of the company, the products, and markets, and he has been showing continued successes over many years. He is a great leader living up to our core values and very well accepted by all stakeholders. “After the strong performance of the last quarters, that were achieved also thanks to Trevor’s strong contributions as Chief Sales Officer, we are excited that Trevor has accepted our offer to step up and to take this role to run the company together with the Executive Team. I am looking forward to continuing our fruitful collaboration, and we all wish Trevor success and luck in his new role,” comments Hubertus Mühlhäuser.
“I am humbled and honoured to have the opportunity to lead FläktGroup and work alongside its talented team. FläktGroup has a strong foundation, and I look forward to driving further profitable growth and building our joint future,” comments Trevor Young.
With Trevor’s appointment as the CEO, we are also delighted to appoint Dave Dorney as FläktGroup’s new Chief Sales Officer (CSO). Dave joined FläktGroup on February 1, 2024 and will take over fully by March 1, 2024 after a handover period with Trevor.
Dave joins FläktGroup from Johnson Controls where he started in October 2000 and held various positions, including Vice President and General Manager of the EMEA Heating and Cooling division. In his most recent role, Dave was responsible for leading the field business of more than 1,500 employees across 14 countries driving growth in the key vertical markets of Life Science, Food & Beverage, Manufacturing & Industrial together with having responsibility for developing the region’s sustainability division.
Dave’s profile is an excellent match to the search criteria that emphasized deep industry experience and relationships in the HVAC industry, proven track record of working in various international environments, understanding of key account management, and recognizing the importance of strong entrepreneurial market leaders.
“I am delighted to welcome Dave to join our team as the new Chief Sales Officer and as my direct successor in the role. We are all looking forward to benefiting from his profound sales background and know-how of the industry”, comments Trevor Young.
