About Carlos Gutierrez

Operationalizing new ways of working, strengthening internal controls, driving efficiencies, delivering transparency, and improving P&L performance is what I do best. I’ve built my career leading domestic and international teams, reinvigorating underperforming operations and at-risk portfolios of operations projects to achieve success and deliver results. I bridge the gap between corporate leadership and in-the-field management, creating cohesiveness and operational excellence by providing strategy, vision, and purpose for all stakeholders and their teams.For over 14 years I’ve been leading complex portfolios and individual projects across GE Power’s Gas Power Systems Division, serving as one of GE’s key contributors to strategy and vision development. I’ve excelled at engaging with internal and external stakeholders to identify issues, deliver solutions, and exceed expectations despite austere operating environments and geopolitical instability.==> Championing 400+ international projects within the organization’s portfolio, overseeing operations across North America, Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East worth $6B+.==> Directing high-performing team of 40+ project managers that launched and sustained worldwide construction and power generation projects.==> Engaging with executive stakeholders, delivering operating strategies that improved efficiencies and enhanced top-line and bottom-line performance.==> Implementing cash flow management strategies that reduced overdue accounts $100M+ and cut overall stale A/R by 40%.While my ability to create and deliver strategy is one of my strong suits, my greatest strength is in building, mentoring, and invigorating diverse domestic and international teams that champion “Lean and Simple” business solutions.
