Earlier this year, GE Chairman and CEO Larry Culp introduced employees to the new GE tagline: Building a world that works.
This new line brings to life the GE of today and underpins the positive momentum and continued efforts of GE’s multiyear transformation. It emphasizes the importance of the work we do, and the impact we have on our communities around the world.
If the last few months have taught us anything, it’s that the world can be unpredictable. However, one thing we do know is that the planet must keep on turning. And because GE is a part of so many moments that matter, we must rise to any challenge. That’s why the people of GE are committed to waking each day, rolling up our sleeves, and helping to build a world that works.
Five GE Aviation and Additive employees brought the new tagline to life this week when over a period of 24-hours GE employees “clocked-in” from around the globe as their workday began. Under the hashtag #GEGetsToWork, customers, shareholders and employees watched as they rolled-up their sleeves to help build a world that works.
From Aviation and Additive, those employees included:
- Amélie Lorenzi-Mercier, Additive Engineer, Montreal, Canada
- Amy Shen, Lead Technical Support Engineer, Shanghai, China
- Chris Day, Senior Engineer, Additive Technology Center, Cincinnati, Ohio
- Jon Ohman, GE Aviation Chief Test Pilot, Victorville, California
- Yunuen Juarez, Mechanic Component Manager, GEIQ, Queretaro, Mexico
Watch their stories from around the globe.

To 3D-print parts, first you'll need some metal powder from @GEAdditive’s metal additive manufacturing powder company, AP&C, in Montreal, Canada. #GEGetsToWork pic.twitter.com/CtCkokBuU3
