Qvantum has hired Thomas Nowak as VP of Government Relations and Public Affairs

Heat pump manufacturer Qvantum has hired Thomas Nowak as VP of Government Relations and Public Affairs. As Secretary General of the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) Thomas Nowak has helped to establish heat pumps as a topic in the EU policy environment. For nearly 18 years, he has been the driving force behind making the heat pump technology known and spread throughout the continent.

Many consider Thomas Nowak to be highly influential in making the concept of heat pumps recognized in Europe. After 18 years as Secretary General of the European Heat Pump Association, he is now joining Qvantum.

“The concept of heat pumps, being able to provide heating and cooling at the same time, has fascinated me from the first day I learned about it”.
“It is still surprising to me that after all these years policymakers and businesses are not pushing harder to establish heat pumps for all applications across Europe.
Heat pumps remove fossil dependency and cut costs at the same time. It’s a game-changing concept,” - says Thomas Nowak.

“To make our vision a reality, we need to reach out to decision-makers in both politics and business, and we need to be present in the early stages of decision-making processes,” says Fredrik Rosenqvist, CEO of Qvantum.
