“Driving the energy transition takes strong collaboration and commitment. Frederick will bring focused attention to our Sustainability and Electrification strategy and will build stronger synergy across our organization, with our partners and the market at large,” said Adrian Thomas, Country President, Canada, Schneider Electric. “The step-changes he will lead at local and national levels will cascade to advance our net-zero targets so we can achieve higher levels of climate action and to drive growth in new markets.”

I look forward to leveraging the power of partnerships to help chart a more robust path forward for Sustainability and Electrification in our market.”
