Enron Whistleblower
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.
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 and 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.
Prior to joining the energy giant, Lynn worked in forensic accounting and spent 18 years as a legal professional in private practice, until she joined Ralston Purina where she worked in Corporate Development for the General Counsel and Chief Financial Officer.
Since leaving Enron, Lynn has become an internationally recognized speaker providing compelling details into Enron's rise and fall, leaving audiences shocked when they realize how vulnerable they are to becoming the next Enron.
Lynn is the founding Chairman 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).
Lynn is also the author of SportsVision: Athletic Excellence through Visualization, a training manual for athletes, which contains a foreward by Lou Holtz and Mike Ditka, and is based upon her 15 years as a competitive and professional figure skater, as well as a coach.
Lynn has captivated audiences worldwide, including Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy, London, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, Venezuela, Malaysia, Canada and the New York Stock Exchange. In 2003 she was nominated for the "Women of Influence" Award. In 2004 she was named a "Paul Harris Fellow" by the International Rotary Foundation. In 2005 she was named the first recipient of the OCEG - "Innovation in Compliance" Award. She was recently selected for inclusion in the 25th Silver Anniversary Edition of Who's Who of American Women for her contributions to society.
