Prior to joining Danfoss, Hill spent more than 20 years at General Electric in various global commercial leadership positions across the Power and Water divisions in the U.S. and Japan. He also worked for nine years with ABB Power Generation in the U.S. as well as Sweden. He started his career in steam and gas turbine performance/application engineering before moving into sales.

In acknowledging the appointment, Alström noted, “Over the past few years, Mike has brought operational focus and rigor to the sales organization, while developing commercial talent and managing customer relationships as we worked through significant supply chain challenges in a high inflationary environment.”
