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.
