Born on February 19, 1956 in Cicinnati, Ohio, the six-foot-four-inch Jeff had in some way been seasoned with GE’s value right since his childhood days as his father was an aircraft engines manager at GE’s Aviation unit. He met his wife Anrea at GE Plastics & has a daughter named Sarah. He holds Bachelor of Science degrees in Economics & Mathematics from Dartmouth College & topped it all up with an MBA degree from Harvard.
Th e highlight of his tenure at GE has remained the revival of the stagnant medical-products unit, transforming the company into being more consumer-oriented & his effective handling of the ‘environmental’ approach of GE called ‘Ecomagination’. However, challenges remain & the primary one being giving smiles to GE shareholders around the globe, amongst whom Jeff unlike many legendary CEOs, is not quite a hero.
