Suzy Welch (née Spring) (born 1959), formerly Suzy Wetlaufer, is a noted commentator and business journalist. She was editor of the Harvard Business Review, and has written extensively on management and leadership. Her latest book, 10-10-10: A Life-Transforming Idea (Scribner), is a New York Times best-seller that deals with life decision-making strategies.
Professional career
Welch attended Phillips Exeter Academy, Harvard College, and Harvard Business School, from which she graduated as a Baker Scholar, in the top five percent of her class.
She started her career as a reporter with the Miami Herald, and then the Associated Press. After business school, her professional experience included several years at Bain & Company, a management consulting firm based in Boston, where she focused on manufacturing clients. Although she has written a novel, she is probably best known as the writer and editor of numerous books and articles dealing with leadership, organizational change, and human resource management.
In early 2002, she was forced to resign from the Harvard Business Review after admitting to an affair with the then-married Jack Welch, the former chief executive officer of General Electric, while preparing an interview with him for the magazine. At that time, her last name was that of her first husband: Suzy Wetlaufer (the marriage had ended in divorce). Jack Welch divorced and then the couple married, and she had the interview pulled before it appeared in the Business Review.[1]
The Welches currently live in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston. Suzy is involved with the Babson Executive MBA Program and often lectures on issues of women’s leadership. She and her husband co-wrote the international best-seller Winning, published by Harper Collins in May 2005, and its companion volume, Winning: The Answers.
Suzy, who has four teenage children, is a columnist for O (Oprah's magazine), and co-writes a weekly column with her husband for BusinessWeek magazine, which is syndicated to more than thirty major newspapers around the world. [2]
