Jeffrey Immlet: 'The Day That I Don't Get Up Every Morning With A Thousand Ideas Of How To Make The Company Better Is The Last Day'

Jeffrey Immlet, just like his predecessor Jack Welch, has changed General Electric Company GE significantly and putted his stamp on the company. With GE deciding to sell of its financial services arm GE Capital, Immlet was on CNBC recently to talk about whether he is satisfied with what he has been able to do with GE.

Execution Is King

Immlet was asked if he is happy with what he has done with GE in his tenure as the CEO of the company. He replied, "I am, I love the company today, I love this high-tech infrastructure space where we think we have real competitive advantage. We have got great technology, global footprint, massive backlog in the installed base, a good structure for success. I think financing with […] and energy finance also allows us."

He continued, "So, fundamentally everything that we are in today, we are both competitively advantage in and are good at and I think in the world we live with slow growth and volatility this is today is all, execution is king and people that are really deep in industries are going to win and I think that's plays well to us."

Not Done Yet

On whether he is done and if this is the company and portfolio he wanted to create, Immlet said, "I think the one thing, mistake you could never make is to say you are done. The world changes, the day that I don't get up every morning with a thousand ideas of how to make the company better is the last day. I am not there, I actually see ways the company can be improved, but I love where the company is positioned right now, I really do."
