Former GE CEO Jeff Immelt Close to Becoming Uber’s CEO
Seems like the story of apple again.<p>Jeff has no real tech credibility,  he is a old school boys network business guy with dodgy&#x2F;bad performance rap.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.forbes.com&#x2F;sites&#x2F;adamhartung&#x2F;2017&#x2F;03&#x2F;28&#x2F;ge-needs-a-new-strategy-and-a-new-ceo&#x2F;#82df5f34ad28" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.forbes.com&#x2F;sites&#x2F;adamhartung&#x2F;2017&#x2F;03&#x2F;28&#x2F;ge-needs...</a><p>&quot;At this point, it is probably too late to save GE. By losing sight of the need to grow, and instead focusing on optimizing the old business while selling assets to raise cash for reorganizations, Immelt has destroyed what was once a great innovation engine. Now that the activists have GE in their sites it is unlikely they will let it ever return to the company it once was - creating whole new markets by developing new technologies that people never before imagined. The future looks a lot more like figuring out how to maximize the value of each piece of meat as it&#x27;s carved off the GE carcass.&quot;<p>Good luck to the folks that work at uber. You are going to need it.
