With an innovative spirit and an entrepreneurial mindset, we engineer energy products and digital services that create industry-leading value for our customers around the world. We work to solve one of the world’s biggest challenges – to provide world’s biggest economies and its most remote communities with the electricity to power modern life and, at the same time, reduce greenhouse gases. Our technology, our work, is pivotal in meeting that challenge. What we do, matters. Our purpose is to unleash limitless energy so that no one should ever have to choose between affordable, reliable, or sustainable energy. As a newcomer to Renewable Energy, you will hear me talking often about integrity and safety, the foundations on which we earn that trust and respect. I want us all to end each and every day knowing we did business the right way and everyone made it home safely. Since 2015, when GE’s Renewable Energy business was created, we have come a long way in our mission to unleash limitless energy, and helping to bring the world closer to a cleaner energy future. This team has the courage, scale, passion, diversity and resourcefulness to make that happen. I’m glad to have you on the team!
