Conversation with UBS whistleblower Stephanie Gibaud
Description
In this first episode, I had a fascinating conversation with Stéphanie Gibaud. In 2008, while working for the marketing department of UBS, Stéphanie's employer asked her to shred documents while an investigation by the French government was taking place. Risking a jail sentence, she blew the whistle internally and was accused of defamation by her employer; her documents have widely helped to identify 38.000 offshore bank accounts amounting to €12 billion. Her books include "La Femme qui en savait vraiment trop" ["the woman who knew too much"] (2014) and "Whistleblowers: The Man Hunt" (2017). In this episode, Stéphanie shares her story, the way she confronted the powerful, and how she dealt with the challenges of being a whistleblower while seeking justice and promoting accountability.
