Larry Johnston, a GE Appliances division veteran who has spent the last two years as president/CEO of Paris-based GE Medical Systems (Europe) is returning to the United States as president/CEO of GE Appliances. Johnston succeeded David Cote, a 25-year GE veteran who left to join TRW as president/COO.
