Jack Welch: One of America’s Greatest CEOs “Control your own destiny or someone else will.” — Jack Welch Jack Welch — world-renowned businessman, chemical engineer, author and management expert — is widely regarded as one of the most respected and greatest CEOs in America today. During his more than 40 years at General Electric, he rose quickly through the ranks to become the company’s youngest vice president and later its youngest CEO and chairman. Throughout his tenure at GE, he gained a reputation as one of the toughest bosses for his blunt and hard-hitting management tactics. But, it was his visionary leadership style that allowed him to steer the company into international markets at a scale never seen before. On June 28, 2011, Welch will serve as keynote speaker at the Manufacturer & Business Association’s 106th Annual Event in Erie to speak frankly and candidly about his experiences as the head of one of the most valuable and powerful companies in the world.
