    NABIL Habayeb is clear about what has kept him going at General Electric for four decades (and counting).

    "It's about the passion," says the GE senior vice-president, who also wears another hat at the iconic 129-year-old company, looking after its international business as president and chief executive officer (CEO) of GE International Markets.

    Speaking to The Business Times over video conferencing while on a visit to Washington DC, the Dubai-based Habayeb recalls starting out as a young GE engineer building a power plant in Iraq.
