Abstract

As he takes over as CEO of the iconic industrial giant General Electric, Larry Culp faces a range of urgent issues as the company is delisted from the DJIA and is seen by many as heading towards bankruptcy. Culp steers GE through a series of carefully thought-out moves to improve the company’s financial footing, navigate the pandemic, meet public and investor perceptions head-on, improve its operating performance, reshape its culture, restructure the company into independently listed businesses, and realize the full value of GE’s assets.
