We honour SherronĀ Watkins, Ā Vice President ofĀ Corporate DevelopmentĀ at theĀ Enron Corporation. Watkins was called to testify before committees of theĀ U.S. House of RepresentativesĀ andĀ SenateĀ at the beginning of 2002, primarily about her warnings to Enronās then-CEOĀ Kenneth LayĀ aboutĀ accountingĀ irregularities in theĀ financial statements. This massive scandal should have been averted by blowing the whistle much earlier.
