Number two to General Electric’s chief executive Jeff Immelt, the 55-year-old heads the conglomerate’s global operations, and relocated from the US last year in a move designed to accelerate globalisation and to locate top executives close to the economies that now drive world economic growth.
在所有被派駐某個(gè)新興市場的美國商人中,駐香港的約翰?賴斯(John Rice)屬于最資深的之一。賴斯現(xiàn)年55歲,在通用電氣(GE)是僅次于首席執(zhí)行官杰弗里?伊梅爾特(Jeffrey Immelt)的第二號(hào)人物,主管這家大企業(yè)集團(tuán)的全球運(yùn)營。通用電氣去年將賴斯從美國調(diào)到香港,此舉旨在加快公司的全球化進(jìn)程,讓自己的頂級(jí)高管離如今推動(dòng)世界經(jīng)濟(jì)增長的經(jīng)濟(jì)體更近。
