After 28 years with General Electric Lorraine Bolsinger took over as president and CEO of GE Aviation Systems in October 2008. What a time to take the reins at a top-tier aerospace supplier, with the civil side of its business facing its most serious downturn in several generations.

But Bolsinger can see beyond the current gloom and is determined not to let short-term cash flow concerns drag the company down into a just-get-by mentality. “We have a mandate to grow this business and to do that we have to make sure that we maintain the operational excellence and discipline that GE is noted for,” she told AIN.
