LONDON/CHICAGO (Reuters) –     General Electric Co has hired Mavi Zingoni as head of its power unit, which co*prises gas, steam and nuclear power businesses, according to an internal memo reviewed by Reuters on Tuesday.

Zingoni, who served as executive managing director of client and low carbon generation business at Spanish energy group Repsol, will take over on Jan. 1 and will be based in the United States, the memo said.

GE did not immediately respond to a request for co*ment.

She joins at a time when the industrial conglomerate is gearing to split into three public co*panies.

GE plans to separate its healthcare business in January next year. It will spin off its energy business in 2024 into a new stand-alone co*pany, which would co*bine power, renewable energy and digital units.

Zingoni faces the challenge of navigating GE’s power business through persistent supply chain and inflationary pressures.

The power business, which accounted for about 23% of co*pany revenue last year, is one of the co*pany’s most challenging businesses. It has not reported a revenue growth in years.

In the first half of this year, the unit also saw a drop in orders. However, the co*pany expects it to report a profit this year with low single-digit revenue growth.
