Nuheat announced today that Kevin McElroy, Nuheat’s current President has been appointed to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer effective, June 1, 2014.          

With the new addition of CEO in his title, McElroy will not only lead Nuheat’s operations in both the United States and Canada, but will now also be responsible for developing long term strategy and maximizing shareholder value.

“The Board made the decision to add the designation of ‘CEO’ to Kevin’s title after a review of his performance during his first year as President,” said Neil Johansen, Chairman of Nuheat Board of Directors. “This change reflects Kevin’s successful transition into the President role,”

Kevin’s career with Nuheat began almost 20 years ago as Nuheat’s first, and only, salesperson in a company of five employees. He subsequently served as Sales Manager, Director of Sales and Vice President of Sales. As Vice President, Kevin was the driving force behind Nuheat’s sales expansion, into the Northeastern US market and successful penetration of all North American markets. McElroy’s efforts developed Nuheat into what it is today—a company which employs over one hundred employees and is a market leader in the floor heating industry.

“I’m humbled by the recognition and opportunity to serve as Nuheat’s President and CEO and privileged to be leading a dynamic and energized team,” said Kevin McElroy. “Moving forward, my vision is to continue to foster a vibrant culture that attracts great people and build an iconic brand that defines its category.”
