The much-younger divorcee who snared then-married ex-GE head Jack Welch by interviewing him when she was the editor of the Harvard Business Review says the adulterous pair made some serious missteps that cost Neutron Jack a cool $200 mil to second wife Jane.
"I was overcome by events," the upwardly mobile Mrs. Welch tells NYDN's Rush & Mollloy. "I could have done it with a lot less anguish. We thought hunkering down and silence was the right idea. Instead, we should have come out quickly with the facts and taken the hit. We learned our lesson.”
Mrs. Welch - 44 to Jack's 68 when they married five years ago - has a new book out on her formula for life success in 10 minutes , 10 months, 10 years. The pair have a website - The Welch Way - and Suzy has a website pimping her new book. Suzy is everywhere these days - een Fox News - flacking her life-transforming tips.

In the former Suzy Wetlaufer's case, it was ten seconds after she locked eyes with Jack in 2002. Her interview was spiked after the goo-goo-eyed pair made no secret of their affair, and Harvard Business Review gratefully accepted her resignation. NBC talking head and authoress Doris Kearns Goodwin heaps praise on Suzy's novel concept: "This eloquent, witty, intelligent book is a triumph on several levels. Not only does it provide insightful and instructive lessons for making personal decisions but the intimate life stories illustrating Suzy Welch's decision-making process are endlessly absorbing, captivating the reader's interest from start to finish."
