The episode will be titled "Keeping up with the Jetsons: making lives better through innovation."

At General Electric, Immelt continues to put a charge into Fortune’s "Most Admired Company" in the United States, while making infrastructure and environmental solutions the new engines for growth. 

Irene Rosenfeld has fresh ideas in store as the new Big Cheese at Kraft Foods, where she is expanding markets for classic brands like Velveeta, Jell-O, Oreos, and Oscar Mayer, while developing new lines of healthy and ready-to-eat packaged foods.

CEO EXCHANGE is underwritten exclusively by the Society for Human Resource Management , the world's largest association devoted to human resource management. The event is hosted at Tuck by the Beacon Capital Partners Leadership Speaker Series, the Jonathan L. Cohen D’60, T’61 Leadership Development Program, and the First-Year Project.
