Thomas Donato appointed Carrier Europe CEO

USA: Former Bosch Power Tools CEO Thomas Donato has been appointed president of Climate Solutions Europe to succeed Thomas Heim. 

Donato left Bosch at the end of March after three years as CEO. He previously held senior executive leadership positions at Bosch Rexroth, Rockwell Automation and ABB.
