About Dennis Welch: Whatever You Do… Be a Writer
After reading some of Dennis’ work, George Gallup Jr. had this salient advice for him: “Whatever you do, Dennis, be a writer.” During his tenure as VP and Publicity Director at Cave Henricks Communications for the past 5 years, Dennis has done just that… writing and editing many blogs and guest columns for Forbes.com, CNBC.com, Change This, and others. While there, he worked on several business bestsellers and established some tremendous relationships both with publishers and the media.
He also served as a Senior Staff Writer at The Gallup Organization. Gallup’s Chief Marketing Officer called him “one of the top 5 writers in the company.” He is a poet, a businessman, a published writer, an inventor of marketing systems and a seemingly endless source of ideas and innovations. He is a great relationship builder and maintainer, and is blessed to have many, many good friends in the business.
Dennis, a native Texan, was born and raised in North Houston, Texas. Dennis would later attend the University of Houston to acquire both his bachelor’s degree and MBA. After joining the Gallup Organization he quickly rose through the ranks of the organization. Among his notable accomplishments were launching Gallup’s Hispanic interviewing team, inventing marketing systems for Gallup’s transition into becoming a powerful consulting company, and was handpicked by Gallup’s CEO to lead Gallup’s foray into faith communities. He was also a Senior Staff Writer for Gallup’s Tuesday Briefing and on-line management journal, the GMJ.
He is currently President and CEO of Articulate, a company specializing in books, freelance writing and editing. He is excited about helping business people communicate more clearly and using his experience and relationships with top business writers and publishing experts to be a ‘Sherpa’ for aspiring writers as they bring their book ideas to fruition. “I’d love to use my 5-year tour through the book business to help others understand it better,” he says.
Dennis is married to Susie and has two sons, Daniel and Dylan.
