CPN's Executive of the Year awards
 

Ron Pressman
President & CEO
GE Real Estate


As the commercial real estate industry assesses how to move forward over the next tough couple of years, perspective, experience and vision matter. Yes, the markets are illiquid and global economies are strained, but in times like these we must stay focused on the fundamentals of our business and industry.

For GE Real Estate, this means refining how we'll progress in our two principal franchises: our debt business, our foundation for 35 years, and our equity business, which will become a meaningful investment management enterprise in the future as we expand beyond investing solely for GE. We go into this downturn with a strong portfolio and a global team that knows how to execute, with three big priorities: working closely with our partners and customers, reinforcing the importance of long-term relationships; training and developing the skills of our team; and communicating liberally about the company's direction. For GE Real Estate, perspective, vision, client focus, investment in our team and communications are providing the bridge to a strong and significant position in our industry and to better days ahead.
