Qvantum is rapidly expanding its European footprint and continued investment in France manifests the ambition to play a leading role in the decarbonization of Europe.
Ghislain will drive the commercial growth and strategic partnership agenda as well as the rollout of Qvantum’s next-generation heat pump powered energy systems. He has held several senior commercial roles in the industry and brings extensive experience of growth, transformation and strategic positioning working with, among others, Carrier and Nibe.

Qvantum’s digital and systemic approach to energy systems is exactly what the French market needs. I am convinced Qvantum has what it takes to develop in France, and I cannot wait to get started”, comments Ghislain Bouillet, MD of Qvantum France.
