Exposure: Inside the Olympus Scandal: How I Went from CEO to Whistleblower

When Michael Woodford was made president of Olympus, he became the first Westerner ever to climb to the top of one of Japanâ€™s corporate giants. Unfortunately, soon after, his dream job turned into a nightmare. Woodford learned about a series of bizarre mergers and acquisitions deals totaling $1.7 billionâ€”a scandal that threatened to bring down the entire company if exposed.

Just weeks later, he was fired in a boardroom coup that shocked Japan and the business world. Woodford fled the country in fear for his life and went straight to the pressâ€”making him the first CEO of a global multinational to blow the whistle on his own company.

Now Woodford recounts his almost unbelievable true story and paints a devastating portrait of corporate Japan.

â€œHis story is filled with mystery, suspense, and betrayal.â€Â â€”Management Today
