Job Description Summary

We are seeking an experienced and innovative leader to drive the vision, strategy, and execution of our Transmission Protection Automation and Control (PAC) product line.
This portfolio represents the core of Grid Automation, encompassing advanced protection relays, bay controllers, merging units, substation gateways, and digital software toolkits to configure, manage, and deploy modern substation solutions.
The role carries the unique complexity of growing GA’s conventional PAC products and solutions while accelerating adoption of next-generation, software-defined automation technologies such as digital substations with central and virtual protections.

Reporting directly to the Chief Commercial and Product Officer (CCPO) of Grid Automation, the leader will oversee industrialization, go-to-market strategy, and commercial development of the portfolio. Collaboration with regions, supply chain, customers, industry leaders, and the GA CTO Organization (R&D execution) will be essential. The role also requires active engagement across GE Vernova, the Electrification segment, and other Grid businesses to maximize collaboration, drive cross-business initiatives, and accelerate growth.
