Reginald H. "Reg" Jones, a longtime Greenwich resident who rose through the ranks to lead General Electric Co., died Tuesday, Dec. 30, at his home in Greenwich. He was 86.
He died following a long illness, his family said.
Mr. Jones spent his entire career with GE. He joined the company's business training course in 1939 and rose through the ranks to serve as chairman and chief executive officer from 1972 to 1981.
"The entire GE family mourns the passing of Reg Jones, a great business leader, a gentleman and a good friend," said Jeffrey Immelt, the company's current chairman and CEO. "During his illustrious 42-year career at GE, Reg was a strong leader for GE, a model of integrity and a great statesman for the entire business community.
"Much of GE's success over the years has been due to Reg's clear thinking and sharp strategic vision for the company," Immelt said. "Reg taught many of us what leadership is about through the way he conducted himself every day. We will miss him."
Former GE chairman and CEO Jack Welch, who succeeded Mr. Jones, said, "Reg was a great man, a great leader, a great teacher, a quintessential business statesman and a true friend."
Born July 11, 1917, in Stoke-on-Trent, England, the son of the late Alfred J. and Gertrude Cartledge Jones. He moved with his family to the United States when he was 8 years old, settling in Trenton, N.J. He graduated in 1939 from the University of Pennsylvania, where he met Grace Butterfield Cole, his wife of 63 years.
Three years after starting the GE training course in 1939 he began an eight-year tour as a traveling auditor, then moved into general management, serving as manager of company businesses in the consumer, utility, industrial, construction and distribution fields.
In 1968, he became the company's chief financial officer, and was elected senior vice president two years later. In 1972, he became president, then chairman and chief executive officer of General Electric. As CEO, he brought new strategic direction to GE, emphasizing strong internal growth fostered by research and development, strategic planning and the introduction of the sector structure that "prepared the organization and the people to meet General Electric's long-range growth opportunities in the decade ahead," in Mr. Jones' words. Sales at the company more than doubled under Mr. Jones' leadership, and earnings nearly tripled.
Mr. Jones advised four presidents on economic matters, and in 1980 he was named the most respected U.S. business executive in a Wall Street Journal/Gallup survey. He also served as the chairman of the Business Council in 1979-1980 and was co-chairman of The Business Roundtable from 1974 to 1980.
After retiring, Mr. Jones served on the boards of several major companies, including Merck & Co., Bethlehem Steel and Federated Department Stores, as well as continuing to serve as a trustee of the University of Pennsylvania. He received honorary doctorate degrees from Penn, Harvard, Yale, Notre Dame, Howard and Colgate universities.
A longtime Greenwich resident, Mr. Jones was a member of the Round Hill Club, the Blind Brook Club and The Patterson Club of Fairfield.
