With 27 years of leadership experience at GE, Trevor
Schauenberg (BBA91) is currently president and CEO of GE
Capital Industrial Finance, the company’s business focused on
financing solutions for its industrial customers. GE Industrial
Finance is composed of three operating companies: GE
Healthcare Finance, GE Industrial Solutions Finance, and GE
Working Capital Solutions. A company officer, Schauenberg
previously was president and CEO of GE Capital’s Americas
Direct Segment. He also held several chief financial officer
positions at GE including roles in Munich, Germany, and
London, England.
Schauenberg’s international experience has made him
a natural advocate as a member of the UI Institute for
International Business advisory board where he actively
encourages avenues for Tippie students to become global
citizens. He has made international experiences available
to Tippie students through the Trevor Schauenberg Global
Internship Fund, and supports diversity initiatives in the
college through the Trevor Schauenberg Fund for Diversity.
Schauenberg and his wife, Kyle, and two daughters reside
in Chicago. In his community, Schauenberg is chairman of
the board of buildOn Chicago, an organization committed
to empowering U.S. urban youth to transform their
neighborhoods and the world through community service.
As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned that striving in
business “ can only bring so much satisfaction. True joy
and happiness comes from leveraging our success in
business to help others and bring consciousness to our
communities and areas of the world that need it.”
—Trevor Schauenberg (BBA91)
