Danfoss names Public and Industry Affairs Director

Contributor: Danfoss 

Danfoss Director of Public Affairs Mark Menzer announces retirement; John Sheff appointed to the position.

Danfoss has announced the appointment of John Sheff as its new Director of Public and Industry Affairs for North America. Sheff will succeed Mark Menzer in the role when Menzer retires in July.

Sheff previously was Business Development Manager for Danfoss in North America, leading cross-business initiatives within buildings, including strengthening engagement with utilities and Danfoss partners to leverage incentive rebates to improve energy efficiency in existing buildings.

John joined Danfoss five years ago as part of its two-year Post Graduate Program after earning an MBA from the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business. He also holds a second master’s degree from the University of Maryland’s School of Architecture in real estate development and sustainable urban development. He previously worked as a policy analyst for the office of former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley, where he evaluated and developed energy efficiency and renewal energy plans for the State of Maryland.

Sheff succeeds Mark Menzer, who is preparing to retire after five years at Danfoss and 35 years in the industry, having successfully helped to raise the voice of Danfoss and its industry partners in crucial discussions throughout Washington, D.C., and within key industry associations. In 2018, Mark was recognized by the Air-Conditioning, Heating, & Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) with its Richard C. Schulze award for distinguished service and commitment.

“Perhaps now more than ever—as issues, standards, and regulations affecting our industry continue to evolve, having a seat at the table for critical discussions and a voice that works to ensure the needs of our industry partners and customers are heard is imperative,” said John Galyen, president, Danfoss North America. “John has great perspective on core issues and will be a true asset to all of our stakeholders as, through his work in this position, we continue to work with industry to advance efficiency and sustainability policy, among others.”
