BOSTON – GE announced the Boards of Directors for GE Vernova—the planned independent public company that will be created following its spin-off from GE—and GE Aerospace.
GE Chairman and CEO and GE Aerospace CEO H. Lawrence Culp, Jr., said, “We’ve assembled two extraordinary boards to oversee GE Vernova and GE Aerospace, bringing the best of GE forward with compelling new thinking. Each team of talented directors has deep expertise in its respective domain, diversity of perspective, and a wealth of leadership experience. These boards are fit for purpose to help GE Vernova and GE Aerospace rise to their sharper, more focused missions as independent companies.”
GE Vernova CEO Scott Strazik said, “Our Board for GE Vernova brings together multi-dimensional energy transition leadership and strong management and governance experience. This is another important step forward toward spinning off GE Vernova as a standalone company focused on electrifying and decarbonizing the world.”
Culp continued, “Our team of GE Aerospace directors is best-in-class. I’m proud to work alongside this group of experts in commercial aerospace, defense, global affairs, and business leadership, all in service of our customers as we shape the future of flight.”
