The transactions ranged from Western and Eastern Europe to Asia, Australia, South America and the USA. During that period, GE Money grew from $60 million of net income to a global consumer finance powerhouse generating over $4 billion of net profit while operating in more than 55 countries. This growth was largely driven by the successful acquisition program. Jim has a BS in business and economics Magna Cum Laude from Lehigh University.
