About the Author  Jack Welch, a native of Salem, Massachusetts, received his B.S. degree in chemical engineering from the University of Massachusetts in 1957 and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in chemical engineering from the University of Illinois. He joined GE in 1960 and was elected Vice President in 1972 and Vice Chairman in 1979. In 1981, he became the eighth Chairman and CEO in the Company's 121-year history. By 1982, Welch had dismantled much of the earlier management put together by Jones with aggressive simplification and consolidation. One of his primary leadership directives was that GE had to be No. 1 or No. 2 in the industries it participated in.He retired as Chairman and CEO in September 2001. He is a former chairman and a member of both The Business Council and the National Academy of Engineering and is a member of the Business Roundtable. He has been described as “perhaps the most celebrated American boss of recent decades.” Welch died from kidney failure at his home in New York City on March 1, 2020, at age 84.
