Barbara Cave Henricks
President
A former journalist at NBC Radio in Washington, she moved to Manhattan and into publishing in 1989, landing a position in the publicity department at Workman, a smaller publisher which grew to great fame with its innovative packaging, expert marketing, and clever design. Two years later, she moved to Houghton Mifflin Company where she spent six years as the associate director of publicity, handling a prestigious list of nonfiction titles by authors such as Al Gore, astronaut James Lovell, Pulitzer Prize winner Tracy Kidder and dozens more. In 1996, she joined Goldberg McDuffie Communications and in 2000, helped create and lead the company's new division, Goldberg McDuffie Business, where she served as Vice President and Director.
Henricks has spearheaded campaigns for some of the biggest business names in business today including Jack Welch (Jack: Straight from the Gut), Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan (Execution and Confronting Reality), Arthur Levitt Jr. (Take on the Street), Vanguard founder John Bogle (The Battle for the Soul of Capitalism), Marcus Buckingham and Curtis Coffman (First, Break All the Rules), Marcus Buckingham and Donald O.

Dennis Welch
VP, Publicity Director
A poet, writer, businessman, inventor of marketing systems and a seemingly endless source of ideas and innovations, Dennis Welch joins Cave Henricks Communications after more than a decade at The Gallup Organization. There his notable accomplishments included launching Gallup's Hispanic interviewing team, inventing marketing systems for Gallup's transition into becoming a powerful consulting company, and leading Gallup's foray into faith communities. In addition to his role at Cave Henricks, Dennis is also CEO and President of Articulate, a company specializing in marketing, communications, idea development, and training. He holds a BA and an MBA from the University of Houston.
The legendary George Gallup told Dennis many years ago, "Whatever you do Dennis, be a writer," going on to call him "one of the five top writers in the company." From his early days of showing off on the school playground by spelling Antidisestablishmentarianism in the first grade, to a stint in Nashville writing and recording songs, Dennis has done just that.
The father of two grown sons, Dennis and his wife Susie live in Austin.
