Keynote Speaker Sherron Watkins

BBB Foundation is pleased to present Sherron Watkins. She is the former Vice President of Enron Corporation who, in August 2001, alerted then-CEO Ken Lay to accounting irregularities within the company, warning him that Enron ‘might implode in a wave of accounting scandals.’ She has testified before Congressional Committees from the House and Senate investigating Enron’s demise.

Watkins joined Enron in late 1993, initially working for Andrew Fastow, managing Enron’s $1 billion-plus portfolio of energy related investments. After three years, she worked in several other units of the company until late June 2001 when she went back to work for Fastow in his new area of responsibility over the mergers and acquisitions of Enron Corp. Ultimately, Watkins resigned from Enron in November, 2002.

Lauded in the press for her courageous actions, Time magazine named her, along with Coleen Rowley of the FBI and Cynthia Cooper of WorldCom, as their 2002 “Persons of the Year.” Time concluded, “Democratic capitalism requires that people trust in the integrity of public and private institutions alike. As whistleblowers, these three became fail-safe systems that did not fail. For believing – really believing – that the truth is one thing that must not be moved off the books and for stepping in to make sure that it wasn’t.”

Ms. Watkins has received numerous honors in recognition of her outstanding demonstration of ethics in the workplace. She also co-authored, along with prize-winning journalist Mimi Swartz, Power Failure, the Inside Story of the Collapse of Enron. Currently, she lectures around the country on the subject of Enron and the erosion of trust in this country’s capitalistic system due to many corporate and Wall Street scandals.
