John Rice '78, one of four GE vice chairmen and president and CEO of Atlanta-based GE Infrastructure, is featured in the cover article of Georgia Trend magazine (May, 2007). Rice was named 2007's Most Respected Business Leader by the magazine. Rice oversees GE's Energy, Aviation, Rail, Oil & Gas, Water, Energy Financial Services, and Aviation Financial Services operations, businesses that generate more than $54 billion in annual revenue and employ 90,000 people worldwide.

According to the article: "Rice, who arrived in Atlanta in 2000, estimates he spends 75 percent of his time on the road. Nonetheless, the thoughtful, soft-spoken executive has brought a deep personal and corporate commitment to his adopted hometown, serving as a trustee of Emory University and Emory Healthcare, the Georgia Research Alliance, the Woodruff Arts Center. He's also past chairman of the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and serves on Mayor Shirley Franklin's Atlanta Committee for Progress."
