Jeffrey Immelt Retiring As General Electric CEO

Jeffrey R. Immelt is set to retire at the end of the year as the chariman and chief executive of General Electric, according to reports. John Flannery will take over as the CEO of GE on August 1 of this year and chairman when Immelt retires.

Immelt took over at General Electric upon the retirment of Jack Welch in 2001. Welch reigned over GE as the chairman and chief executive from 1981-2001. Six years prior to Immelt’s ascension to the top spot, Welch announced that he would leave the company in December of 2000.

Adam Hartung, writing for Forbes in 2015, said “Mr. Immelt’s tenure has been noteworthy for its complete lack of vision.”
