Yahoo Finance General Electric (GE) Picks Ghai as New CFO, Happe to Step Down
General Electric GE has chosen Rahul Ghai to succeed Carolina Dybeck Happe as the senior vice president (SVP) and chief financial officer (CFO), effective Sep 1, 2023. Happe will continue to serve as an SVP for a period of time to help with the transition.
The management shuffling comes at a time when GE is in the process of splitting its business into three independent companies. The spin-off of the healthcare unit was completed in January. The company is set to separate GE Vernova (the combined operations of GE Renewable Energy and GE Power) into a public company in 2024. It expects to operate as an aviation-focused company starting in early 2024.
Ghai has been serving as the chief financial officer of GE Aerospace since last August. He will continue with this role besides taking on the additional responsibilities from Sep 1.

GE’s chairman and CEO, H. Lawrence Culp, Jr., lauded Happe saying that over the year, she helped the company reduce debt levels significantly and improve financial and operating performance. She has also played a key role in developing the strategy and execution of the spin-off plans.
