New Appointed President and CEO for GE Capital Asia Pacific

Currently serving for GE for Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) and president and CEO of GE Capital for Australia and New Zealand, new appointed President and CEO, Steve Sargent, will continue to help GE Capital now in Asia Pacific. Sargent is taking over the role formerly served by John Flannery, who has been promoted to run GE’s operations in India, and he is going to be overseeing operations for GE Capital in Asia Pacific, which is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.

Sargent previously has held a number of senior finance, sales and quality positions in GE Capital, including president and CEO of GE European Equipment Finance from 2000 to 2003.  “Steve is an ideal match for this position,” Mike Neal, GE vice chairman and GE Capital president and CEO, said. “He knows the industry, region and GE Capital equally well. Throughout his career, Steve has developed strong customer relationships, built talented teams and found innovative ways to grow the business. In a very challenging 2008, he lead our GE Capital ANZ team to grow earnings double digits while reducing costs. He will bring this operational excellence to Asia Pacific, an important market for us. The fact that we have someone of Steve’s caliber ready to take on this new challenge is a testament to GE’s leadership development.”
