Trotter became Managing Partner of GenNx360 Capital Partners after a nearly 40-year career with General Electric capped by his being appointed a Vice Chairman of the company in August 2006.
As a Vice Chairman of GE and President and CEO of GE Industrial, Trotter was responsible for a US$28 billion business with nearly 80,000 employees worldwide. GE Industrial, comprised of GE Consumer & Industrial and GE Enterprise Solutions, provides a broad range of products and services throughout the world.

From 2004 to 2006 he served as president and CEO of GE Consumer & Industrial, a role he assumed following the 2004 merger of GE's Consumer Products, Industrial Systems, and Supply businesses.
Most recently, Boyda held the position of President and CEO of GE Security, a $2 billion global business focused on communication and information technologies for security, safety and lifestyle enhancements. GE Security was initially formed through General Electric's acquisition in 2002 of Interlogix, where Boyda served as President, CEO, and Director.
While at Interlogix and predecessor company SLC Technologies, Boyda defined and led the formation of GE Security business by engineering the merger and acquisition of more than 40 companies over a period of 15 years.

In addition, she was responsible for creating a profitable stand-alone operating company carved out from a large international corporation in the specialty chemicals industry partnering with a private equity sponsor.
Schuldt has served as a Member of the Board of Directors and Management Advisor to Deister Electronics, Germany, a supplier of advanced RFID and security products. Over the past five years, he has also acted as an Advisor to several Venture Capital firms as they pursued investments in the security and personal identification markets.
