Automation Anywhere has named longtime chairman and CEO of General Electric Jeff Immelt to its Board of Directors. Immelt led GE from 2001 to 2017 where he overhauled the company’s strategy, expanded its global footprint, and re-established market leadership across industries such as aerospace, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, and digital innovation.
He was an advisor to the U.S. government during the 2008 financial crisis, and, since leaving GE, has served as a partner in the New York City-based venture capital firm New Enterprise Associates.
“AI-driven automation is transforming industries at an unprecedented pace, and Automation Anywhere is at the forefront of this shift,” said Immelt. “From my experience leading GE, I’ve seen firsthand how businesses must adapt to drive efficiency and innovation. Automation Anywhere’s platform is helping enterprises in healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and beyond harness AI to solve complex challenges. I look forward to working with the team to expand its impact and help customers navigate this transformation.”
