Jack Welch affair
Suzy Welch (born Suzanne Spring in 1959), formerly known as Suzy Wetlaufer, is an American author, television commentator, business journalist, and public speaker. Her 2009 book, 10-10-10: A Life Transforming Idea, was a New York Times bestseller. She is also the co-author, with her husband Jack Welch, of two international New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling business books, Winning, published in 2005, and The Real Life MBA, published in 2015.
Suzy Welch was born Suzanne Spring in 1959 to parents Phyllis and Bernard Spring in Portland, Oregon. She was primarily raised in New York and New England. Welch attended Phillips Exeter Academy, Harvard and Radcliffe College, and Harvard Business School, from which she graduated as a Baker Scholar, in the top five percent of her class.
Welch started her career as a reporter with the Miami Herald and then with the Associated Press. After business school, she worked for several years at Bain & Company, a management consulting firm based in Boston. She was later named editor-in-chief of the Harvard Business Review. She has written a novel, and authored and edited numerous books and articles dealing with leadership, organizational change, and human resource management.
In early 2002, Welch 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. The affair was brought to the attention of the Review by Jane Welch, Welch's wife at the time. Jack Welch and Jane Welch divorced and he then married Suzy Welch. Suzy Welch had the interview pulled before it appeared in the Business Review.
