Lead Time Our Businesses (left to right) Lloyd Trotter, GE Consumer & Industrial; Mike Neal, GE Commercial Finance; Randy Falco, NBC Universal; Ron Meyer, NBC Universal;
It's our time because...
Lloyd Trotter “We’re leaner, faster and smarter than we were a year ago when our business was created with the merger of GE Consumer Products and GE Industrial Systems. We’ve streamlined our structure, simplified our processes, and generated significant savings that we’re reinvesting in new products such as Entellisys™ intelligent switchgear, the GE front-load washer and dryer, and long-life discharge headlamps that will help us lead in our industries. All this adds up to our being more focused and better able to serve our customers than ever before. It’s going to be a great year. We have a world of opportunities to grow better together in 2005 and beyond.”

Randy Falco “We’ve got twice the entertainment assets to market, talented new marketing and sales people, and much more diversified revenues.”

Bob Wright “We’ve got the best content in the media business, great positioning for the digital media of the future, and I’ve got Randy Falco, Ron Meyer, Stacey Snider and Jeff Zucker.”

Mike Neal “This year, we see more opportunities than ever in almost every aspect of business lending, leasing and financing. By organizing around industries through ‘verticals,’ we’re tailoring Commercial Finance to customer needs. You can expect more from us globally in 2005 as well. Europe represents enormous opportunity, and our European Corporate Finance effort, an Imagination Breakthrough, is a shining example. We’re also simpler today, with more efficient, consistent and cost-effective results for us and for our customers. We’re easier to do business with, and that’s good for customers and for GE. In 2005, Commercial Finance’s time will prove more productive — and exciting — than any in our history.”

Ron Meyer “We’ve got owners who are in it for the long haul and who bring terrific television assets to our film and theme park assets.”
