GE Global Research names new director

Oct. 18, 2005 — GE Global Research, the central research arm of General Electric (NYSE: GE), named Mark Little as its new director. He replaces Scott Donnelly, who left in July to become president and CEO of GE Aircraft Engines, another division of the conglomerate.

Little was previously with GE Energy’s power generation business in Schenectady, N.Y., where he was vice president since 1997. He has been with GE for 27 years.

“We’re placing big bets in major areas such as sustainable energy, biotechnology and nanotechnology to help fuel the future growth of the company,” said Jeffrey Immelt, GE Chairman and CEO, in a prepared statement, “and the Research organization is the epicenter of where these investments come to life.”

Michael Idelchik, who has been serving as interim director since July, will return to his role as vice president of advanced technologies for GE Global Research.
