Courage at the Crossroads: Ethical Leadership for the 21st Century

About the Event

Thank you for joining us for a remarkable evening with Ms. Cynthia Cooper. Ms. Cooper shared her personal experiences at WorldCom, along with important lessons learned from some of the most significant 21st-century corporate failures. She also provided practical strategies and tips to help build a healthy speak-up culture and achieve long-term sustainable success.

Featuring: Cynthia Cooper

Cynthia Cooper is a best-selling author, keynote speaker, thought leader, and advocate. In 2002, Cynthia blew the whistle on fraud at WorldCom. WorldCom, once a Wall Street darling boasting the largest acquisition in history, the fifth most widely held stock, and ranked by the Wall Street Journal as number one for the highest return to shareholders over a ten-year period, became the largest fraud, bankruptcy, and civil settlement in corporate history. Her brave actions led to the downfall of one of the largest corporate frauds, the subsequent Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and a renewed focus on corporate ethics.
