The Heat Exchanger Mentoring Pilot Programme was introduced and commenced by the District Heating Divas during the Connecting Women in District Heat conference held in London on December 9, 2019. Since then, they have played a vital role in nurturing and expanding the program over the past five years. The District Heating Divas represent an informal network of women professionals engaged in heat networks within the United Kingdom.
FairHeat have been proudly supporting the Heat Exchanger Mentoring programme since the pilot by providing funding and management of the website, as well as resource on the HEMP working group.
Soulla Paphitis, a District Heating Diva and seasoned Business Development professional in the industry, has been an invaluable asset to the Heat Exchanger Mentor Programme, dedicating countless hours to its success over the last 5 years. Through her previous role at Danfoss and her current position at Guru Systems, she has secured essential time and financial support for HEMP initiatives, amplifying the programme’s reach and impact. Soulla continues her commitment to HEMP, leading the working group.
