Burger Takes Reins at GE Real Estate

FAIRFIELD, CT—Alec Burger, currently the North America leader for GE Capital Real Estate, is taking the top spot within the division. Burger is succeeding Mark Begor as president and CEO of GE Capital Real Estate, as Begor takes the reins of GE Energy Management, succeeding Dan Janki, who in turn will succeed Kathy Cassidy as head of GE’s treasury operations.

“Alec is the right leader to take over GE Capital Real Estate as we continue to increase lending volume in this valuable real estate debt franchise and shrink its equity book,” says Jeff Immelt, GE’s chairman and CEO. Burger has been with the company since 1991, serving as managing director of GE Capital Real Estate United Kingdom before becoming its North American president. Before joining GE, he worked for Bain & Co.
