In early 2002, Suzy Wetlaufer 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. Suzy had the interview pulled before it appeared in the Business Review.
In a situation like that, I’d probably wonder: If he’d cheat on his wife with me, how long before he cheats on me?
I remember that. They were then a personal and professional partnership until Jack’s death.
