General Electric Co. on Tuesday named Scott Reese, a former
Autodesk Inc. executive, as the next chief executive of GE Digital,
replacing Patrick Byrne, who will become CEO of GE Renewable

to spin off from GE in 2024. I am thrilled to have Scott Reese join
this mission with his track record of transforming software
businesses and driving growth," said Scott Strazik, Chief Executive
of GE's global energy business portfolio.
"I'm honored to take on this role and lead GE Digital's mission
to accelerate digital transformations and drive decarbonization
efforts with our customers around the world. With global scale and
leading technology, GE Digital's growth potential is significant,"
Mr. Reese said in a statement.
