“GE remains a fundamentally strong company with great businesses and tremendous talent,”
said Culp in a statement, adding that he and leadership “remain committed to strengthening the balance sheet, including deleveraging.”
The new CEO earned praise from Horton, who stated that “Larry Culp has a proven track record in company transformation and delivering shareholder value. He is a strong leader with deep knowledge of industrials and technology, and an intense focus on execution, organization, and talent development. The board looks forward to working with Larry and his team to return GE to growth and long-term success. On behalf of the board, I thank John for his significant contributions and long service to GE.”
