I'm not sure this is a good idea. Immelt feels too much like a manufacturing guy. Marissa Mayer sounds like a good choice, but again I don't think she's the right fit. They need someone who understands both software, and transportation. I think they should choose David Abney, CEO of UPS, or Gary Kelly of Southwest.

> Immelt feels too much like a manufacturing guy. Less than half of GE's revenue comes from manufacturing.

  Doesn't mean he is a good fit for Uber.

    Non sequitur. It means the reasons given by GP for him being a bad fit are flawed.

      not a native speaker, i misread that and thought he said GE revenue is mainly manufacturing which would strengthen ops point. Thanks for the downvote!

        I didn't downvote you. Here's a vote for consensus.

  It was true before GE Capital had been divested, now I am not so sure it still holds.

Mayer is a terrible choice. If nothing else, her tenure at Yahoo! showed how little emotional intelligence she has. That's the last thing you'd want in a replacement for an allegedly out of touch douche bag like Kalanick.
