I am happy that Commercial Compressors will be in good hands with Fabio. Under his leadership, the Scroll and Reciprocating Compressors division has become a global leader in air conditioning, heat pumps, and refrigeration solutions. The division has effectively released scroll compressors for natural and lowGWP refrigerants and has developed energy-efficient award-winning technology. Fabio is a highly competent and visionary leader who understands every detail of our compressor business. Since joining Danfoss, he has consistently demonstrated the right mindset and skill set to elevate our compressor business to the next level. I look forward to seeing Fabio continue to drive the business forward.”

Fabio succeeds Kristian Strand, recently appointed president of Danfoss Climate Solutions. “It is an honor to succeed Kristian in this role and to have the opportunity to lead the exceptional team in Commercial Compressors. I am both excited and humbled by this responsibility,” Fabio stated. “I look forward to collaborating with everyone across the division to continue driving success for our customers.”
