GERMANY: Thierry Jomard is set to replace Dr Walter Rohregger as CEO at the Fläkt Group.

Thierry Jomard, who will take up the appointment by October 15 at the latest, has worked for 25 years with United Technologies at both Carrier and Otis, including a spell as president of Carrier Commercial Refrigeration.
