Lynn Brewer
Former Enron Executive and author of Confessions of an Enron Executive:   A Whistleblower's Story

 

Wednesday, November 1, 2006
7:30 p.m.
HUB Auditorium
Admission is free.

Lynn Brewer is a former Enron executive and author of Confessions of an Enron Executive: A Whistleblower's Story, a riveting account of her career at Enron and her decision to blow the whistle, as well as her fateful meeting with Ken Lay - just two weeks before his untimely death.

In her nearly three years at Enron, she was responsible for risk management in energy operations, the e-commerce initiatives for Enron's water subsidiary, traded power in the California markets and oversaw competitive intelligence for Enron Broadband Services. During her tenure she witnessed numerous instances of illegal and corrupt dealings, including bank fraud, espionage, power price manipulation and the gross overstatements to the press, public and financial world.   Today, Lynn is the founding chairwoman and CEO of The Integrity Institute, Inc., which independently assesses and certifies corporate integrity at the request of organizations for the benefit of their stakeholders.   She holds a Certification in Business Ethics from Colorado State University and currently serves on the Leadership Council of the Open Compliance and Ethics Group (OCEG).
