BIO
Jack Welch is the most admired CEO in the world. During his 20 years as Chairman and CEO of General Electric, he transformed the company from a bureaucratic behemoth to a dynamic and revered powerhouse. During his tenure, GE market value grew from $13 billion to $400 billion. In the process, Welch’s management innovations made him the most influential CEO of his era.

Welch is the author (with John A. Byrne) of the international bestseller JACK: Straight from the Gut, which provides an intimate glimpse into his life and management concepts. With his trademark candor, he discusses his management style and theories in presentations all over the world, speaking to people at every level of an organization, answering their questions on dozens of wide-ranging topics. These sessions were the inspiration for his new book, Winning, written with his wife, Suzy Welch.

In 2000 he was named Manager of the Century by Fortune. In 2005, he was voted Most Admired CEO of the past 20 years by Chief Executive magazine readers and the World’s Greatest Leader Today in a Fast Company magazine survey. Welch is currently the head of Jack Welch, LLC, where he serves as an advisor to a small group of Fortune 500 business CEOs.
