About Scott Reese

Experienced CEO and public company Board Director with entrepreneurial roots. As CEO of GE Digital, my mission was to turn around the business by sparking new growth, driving profitability, and shaping the role that software plays in everything GE does across the Healthcare, Aerospace, and Energy sectors. In my time as CEO, we have removed a substantial amount of structural costs, shifted the business model to ARR (recurring revenue), rebuilt the sales and marketing teams, invested in innovation, and established thought leadership with the analyst community. As a result, we returned the business to double-digit growth and delivered a profit for the first time in 2023. On April 2, 2024, we launched GE Vernova as a stand-alone public company (NYSE: GEV). The turnaround of GE Digital (among other things) helped GE Vernova gain a tremendous amount of traction as a stand-alone public company that now pushes a $150B+ market cap.Professional SkillsPublic Boards, C-level Executive Leadership, Corporate Governance, Audit Committee, Product Management, Cybersecurity, Agile Product Development, User Experience (XD), Product Analytics, Team Development, Leadership Development, Budgeting, Subscription Business Models, Portfolio Management, Innovation, Manufacturing, Construction, Design, Cloud Infrastructure, SaaS, Enterprise Software, Startups
