John Martin, president and chief executive officer of GE Antares Capital, a unit of GE Capital, replaced Koenigsberg. Martin is one of the founding partners of Antares Capital, which was acquired by GE in 2005.

Koenigsberg joined GE Capital in 1989. Before taking the helm of the capital markets group, he held a series of executive leadership positions including roles with GE Capital’s commercial real estate, corporate finance and capital markets businesses.

GE Capital is the finance arm of General Electric Co.
