Larry Culp

Chairman & CEO, GE Aerospace

Background

Larry joined the GE Board of Directors in April 2018, and was appointed CEO of GE in October 2018. In June 2022, he assumed additional duty as CEO of GE Aerospace and became Chairman & CEO of GE Aerospace when it launched as a public company in April 2024. He also serves as the non-executive Chairman of GE HealthCare.

As Chairman and CEO of GE, Larry led the industrial technology company’s multi-year financial and operational transformation. During his tenure, GE strengthened its balance sheet, reduced debt by more than $100 billion, grew profit by 20%, more than doubled adjusted earnings-per-share, and more than quadrupled its market capitalization. Under his leadership, GE further focused the company’s portfolio and simultaneously improved operations across its businesses by implementing and adopting lean with a relentless focus on safety, quality, delivery, and cost—in that order—to better serve customers.

Larry is a member and the immediate past chair of the Board of Visitors and Governors of his alma mater, Washington College, and also serves on the Wake Forest University Board of Trustees. Previously, Larry was a Senior Lecturer at Harvard Business School, where he focused on leadership, strategy and general management in the MBA and executive education programs.
