MEET JACK<\/span><\/h3>\nHe is one of the world\u2019s most respected business leaders. At 24 he joined General Electric as a junior chemical engineer and worked his way up the company\u2019s several divisions until he was made CEO at the age of 45 \u2013 the youngest CEO in GE\u2019s history. Jack became well known for implementing several innovative management practices (known as \u201cThe Welch Way\u201d) that transformed the company into one of the most successful businesses in the world. Some of these included performance-review programs to identify and generously reward top employees, and tools for making the business more informal \u2013 even as CEO Jack insisted on being called by his first name by employees. During his 21-year tenure at GE, revenues grew five-fold, from $25 billion to $130 billion, income grew tenfold, and the company\u2019s market capitalization had a 30-fold increase.<\/p>\n

Jack retired from GE in 2001, but he continued as active as ever until he passed away in 2020. He wrote several best-selling business books and was a fixture on TV and in magazines as a popular business commentator. He also travelled around the world lecturing and teaching CEOs and senior executives. In 2009, Jack founded the Jack Welch Management Institute, an online MBA school which came to define an important part of his legacy. Through videos and online resources, students have the chance to learn directly from Jack and other influential executives, making the study of business management more widespread, accessible and flexible.<\/p>\n

Jack was happily married to his third wife, Suzy Welch, for the last 16 years of his life. Suzy is a successful journalist in her own right and the two of them made an influential couple in the business world. Over the years Jack and Suzy were a true duo, starting and working on almost every project together, be it writing a new book or supervising the Jack Welch Management Institute \u2013 although it did take Suzy 15 years to convince Jack to get their dog, \u2018Happy\u2019!<\/p>\n
