On visits to countries like China, India, and Russia, or in the Middle East, Immelt serves as the chief sales ambassador, marshalling his many individualized troops afterward to close open loops of opportunity. The company�s leadership team, through such processes as the corporate executive council and entities like the leadership center and the global research center, facilitates the cross-company and cross-discipline connections needed to tie the pieces together.

seize the opportunities / exploit the untapped potential
The idea is that those fast-growing markets - China India etc - presented untapped potential for GE to extend its activities there.
Immelt knew that GE had the edge in terms of manpower, yet was aware that the company needed to leverage its size and improve its ground operations. He and the leadership team coordinated the "troops" on the ground to make sure they were able to seize the opportunities for growth in those markets.
