On December 4, 2020, Brian Gutknecht, strategic marketing leader at GE Vernova, coined a memorable phrase to describe the era-defining topic of climate change. “It’s the ‘everything, everywhere’ problem,” he explained on the first episode of Cutting Carbon, the GE Vernova podcast that launched that year.
1. What are your expectations on GE growing their investment within Indonesia?
Indonesia is an important area for us. It’s a country which clearly offers a market for the things we sell, from lighting to locomotives. Currently Indonesia generates about $1 billion in revenue for GE, one of only 20 markets that reach that figure.
The commitment to developing Indonesia’s energy infrastructure is not simply a challenge, but a huge opportunity to deliver real, effective change. In the words of Power Generation Country Leader for GE Power and Water in Indonesia, George Djohan, “Each project has its own set of challenges. But in the end, it is the electricity produced from these projects which impacts people’s lives.”
