We Are Supporting The Front Line
Today, he’s GE Healthcare’s President and CEO for ASEAN, Korea, and ANZ, but Rob Walton’s first role in GE Healthcare was overseeing the global respiratory care business. In this role, he took on a loss-making P&L and during his tenure, he restructured the business to deliver positive margins and growth while developing the next generation of advanced life-support ventilation products. But one of the most impactful experiences of this role involved a lot of time visiting ICUs, clinicians and patients in extremely ill health. The experience had a lasting impact on him, to say the least.

“When you first observe a patient in a critical condition, intubated and receiving mechanical ventilation, and you see that the main thing that’s keeping them alive is your product, then it really hits home how important the work at GE Healthcare is, in terms of all the efforts put in by our teams in engineering, manufacturing, installation, service applications and many more functions throughout the company,” Rob says.

“All of that comes into sharp focus when you realise that, if we are not doing what we need to do to the right standard, then it’s somebody’s life at the end of that, and you realise how important our products are in providing health care to the population. We have a really dedicated and talented group of people in GE Healthcare who understand this and know that every single day their mission is to develop the best-in-class healthcare products and deliver best-in-class service to healthcare professionals and providers around the world.”
