Sharpening Our Digital Focus

Pat Byrne is the Chief Executive Officer, GE Onshore Wind.  He previously served as CEO, GE Digital. 

Dear Valued Customer,

It’s been 100 days since I started as the CEO of GE Digital, and I want to thank you for your partnership with us.  I am writing to give you an update on GE Digital and our strategy going forward.  

I want to affirm that GE Digital is staying in GE. During this week’s Earnings call, GE’s Chairman and CEO, Larry Culp, reinforced GE’s commitment to GE Digital. GE pioneered the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and has a great combination of talent and technologies to help our customers meet their ambitions. 

As previously announced, I want to confirm that we are bringing together several software businesses into GE Digital: Grid Software, Power Digital, the Oil and Gas digital team, and the existing GE Digital business, including manufacturing execution and automation software, Predix products and digital transformation projects. This makes GE Digital one of the largest industrial software companies in the market with over $1B in annual revenues. 

Our mission is to bring simplicity, speed and scale to your digital transformation with software that helps you to better operate, analyze and optimize your business processes. 

GE Digital’s primary focus is to provide industrial software and services in four key markets:

• Electric Utilities & Telecommunication
• Power generation (gas, steam, and related plant operations and service support);
• Oil & Gas industry and related adjacent markets; and
• Select manufacturing applications and digital transformation projects.

We will also continue to provide key technology support in GE markets such as renewables, healthcare and aviation. 

GE Digital has deep industrial domain expertise, strong global services for deployment support, as well as leading technology in our software and analytics products. I’m proud of the high caliber of talent at GE Digital and across our partner ecosystem. Our teams will continue to focus on meeting our commitments to provide our customers the highest quality support, availability, and on-time delivery.

I’m more convinced than ever that we can accelerate the pace of innovation and deliver strong business outcomes. I’m excited about the opportunities ahead as we work together to deliver value to your businesses and fulfill the promises of digital transformation.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly. Thank you for your continued business.

Best regards,

Pat Byrne

CEO, GE Digital
