Dave Regnery will take over as chair of the board of directors on January 1

IRELAND: Trane Technologies CEO Dave Regnery has been appointed as chair of the company’s board of directors, effective January 1, 2022.

Regnery succeeds Mike Lamach, who has served as executive chair through the CEO transition and plans to formally retire from the company on December 31, 2021. Gary Forsee will continue to serve as lead independent director.
