General Electric announced Monday, June 12, 2017, that Jeff Immelt is stepping down after 16 years as CEO of the iconic conglomerate. Immelt took the helm in 2001 from legendary CEO Jack Welsh. After the financial crisis, he sharply pared down the financial services business that Welsh had built up and went on a spending spree to acquire businesses in the power and oil and gas sectors. During his tenure Immelt also disposed of GE’s appliance unit and the NBC television business. (AP Photo/Kevork Djansezian, File)
