Senator Warren: Enough is Enough with “Too Big To Fail” Citigroup

Kudos to Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren for ripping Citigroup apart last week in her challenge to Congress and exposing Wall Street’s continued unethical activities. Senator Warren vehemently objected to a little-known provision written by Citigroup and inserted in the year end funding bill that would undo a new financial regulation and allow Wall Street to… [Read More]

"Richard Bowen reinforced my motto that "there is no right way to do a wrong thing.” Long after his presentation, the conversation has continued about personal responsibility and the courage to challenge things that appear to be wrong. We encourage this dialog and rely on it to help make our business stronger."

"Richard Bowen has been there, done that, and has the scars to prove it, and his message of corruption at the highest levels of industry and government needs to be heard. I only wish that more bankers had the courage that Bowen exhibits. He is not only one of the most talented bankers I have ever met, he has more integrity than all the bankers on Wall Street put together. If his former employer had listened to him taxpayers would not have had to bail out Citi for the third time in the last 30 years."

"The most emotional and impactful session was absolutely Richard Bowen and the Citi Mortgage case. I was somewhat aware of the challenges and hardships faced by whistleblowers. The HBR case and documentary on Sherry Hunt's experience provided a strong understanding of the case and overall situation. However, the nuance and emotion that Bowen brought in his lecture will be one of my lasting memories of the program. His unique perspective of the exhausting experience of constantly trying to do the right thing only to be stonewalled by his leadership, and later, the US government, highlights the challenges of doing the right thing, yet the importance of someone speaking up. Bowen made whistleblowing personal to us, and I will never forget his quote that if you see wrongdoing, you have two choices, "say something or get out." Taking a stand will have an enduring impact on your career and life regardless of the outcome. It certainly causes me to prioritize selecting the right corporate culture in my future organizations."
