“In my mind, there are no two letters that better embody the spirit of innovation — and have always embodied the spirit of innovation, in the past and the future of this country — than ‘GE,’” said Scott Strazik, CEO of GE Vernova, as his company officially completed its spin-off from the GE Corporation in April. In the eight months since, GE Vernova has continued to make good on its commitment to electrify and decarbonize the world. As the company looks forward to another year leading the energy transition, here’s a glance back at the biggest milestones of 2024.
