On this episode of Fortune’s Leadership Next podcast, co-hosts Alan Murray and Michal Lev-Ram talk to Kevin Nolan, CEO of GE Appliances. The company is owned by Haier, which Murray says is "probably the most interesting and innovative company in China." The interview covers the reasons Nolan believes crowdfunding sites are a good testing ground for innovative products, how "micro-enterprises" keep the company nimble, and the importance of data security in the age of generative AI.

"We're very, very careful on what we do and how we do it," says Nolan. "And I'd say that, I think, is going to be important for all companies going forward. How do you make sure that the data you're getting is secure and it's trusted by your consumers? We spend a lot of time on that."
