Jack Welch (November 19, 1935 – March 1, 2020) was an American business executive renowned for his transformative leadership as CEO of General Electric (GE) from 1981 to 2001. Born in Peabody, Massachusetts, Welch earned a Ph.D. in chemical engineering before joining GE in 1960. As CEO, he implemented rigorous management practices focused on efficiency, accountability, and innovation, famously advocating for the “fix, sell, or close” approach to underperforming units. Under his tenure, GE’s market value soared from $12 billion to over $280 billion, making it one of the world’s most valuable companies. Welch championed a culture of meritocracy and boundaryless organization, and his leadership style—both admired and controversial—influenced corporate management globally. After retiring, he authored several bestselling books on business and leadership, solidifying his legacy as one of the most influential CEOs in modern corporate history.

J. K. Rowling (born July 31, 1965, in Yate, England) is a British author whose rise from single mother on welfare to one of the world’s most successful writers has become nearly legendary. After studying French and Classics at the University of Exeter, she worked briefly as a researcher and bilingual secretary before conceiving the idea for the Harry Potter series during a delayed train journey in 1990. Over seven books—beginning with Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (1997) and concluding with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2007)—Rowling spun a richly detailed magical world that has sold more than 500 million copies worldwide, inspired blockbuster films, and redefined young-adult fiction. Beyond Potter, she has written adult fiction (such as The Casual Vacancy and the Cormoran Strike detective series written under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith) and produced plays like Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Through her charitable foundation Lumos and other philanthropic efforts, she has donated tens of millions toward children’s welfare, multiple sclerosis research, and anti-poverty work. Rowling’s journey—from writing in cafés on a single piece of paper to becoming a literary icon—is often cited as a testament to perseverance, imagination, and the transformative power of storytelling.
