Trane Technologies, a global climate innovator, announced the appointment of Victoria Lazar as senior vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary, effective September 29, 2025. Lazar reports to Chair and CEO Dave Regnery as part of the enterprise leadership team. Based in Davidson, North Carolina, Lazar serves as an officer of the company and oversees all legal and compliance activities for Trane Technologies globally.
“We are excited to welcome Victoria as our new General Counsel,” said Dave Regnery, chair and CEO of Trane Technologies. “Victoria is a highly experienced business and legal executive, bringing deep expertise in corporate governance, strategic transactions, enterprise risk management, sustainability matters, global operations and regulatory compliance and reporting. Her proven leadership and perspective will be invaluable as we continue to innovate, create value for our stakeholders and advance our purpose-driven strategy around sustainability.”
Lazar joins Trane Technologies with extensive experience leading high-performing teams in large, complex businesses within the energy, technology, aviation and industrial sectors. Most recently, she served as executive vice president, chief legal officer and corporate secretary for TechnipFMC plc, a global leader in energy projects and technologies, where she played a key role in the successful spin-off of Technip Energies. Previously, she was senior vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary of Bristow Group Inc., and held executive legal roles of increasing responsibility over more than a decade each at General Electric and Electronic Data Systems Corporation. She began her career in private practice at Baker Botts.
Victoria holds a Juris Doctor from the University of Chicago Law School and a bachelor’s degree in government from Cornell University. She currently serves as a director of InnoVent Renewables as well as several philanthropic and community organizations.
Victoria succeeds Evan Turtz, who announced plans earlier this year to retire in October after 21 years with the company. Turtz assumed the role of General Counsel in 2019 and was instrumental in completing the strategic transaction that led to the creation of Trane Technologies.
“Evan has helped to shape our company’s uplifting, ethical culture through his steadfast commitment to compliance and integrity. We are grateful for his many contributions to Trane Technologies as General Counsel and wish him all the best in his retirement,” said Regnery.
