Publisher's Summary

The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Michael Woodford’s autobiographical account, Exposure: Inside the Olympus Scandal, read by Roy McMillan.

Shortly after Michael Woodford was made President and CEO of Olympus, his dream job turned into a nightmare. After discovering a series of bizarre mergers and acquisitions deals totalling $1.7 billion, he turned to his fellow executives and within weeks he was fired in a boardroom coup that shocked the international business world.

Woodford went straight to the press - becoming the first CEO of a multinational to blow the whistle on his own company. Exposure is a deeply personal memoir that reads like a thriller.

Fantastic story

Really enjoyed it. The narrator did a good job overall too. Michael comes across as a genuinely good guy throughout the story, and his commitment to road safety, charities and other endeavours outside of his full time job at Olympus adds to his credibility.

A view from the inside

I really appreciated hearing a first person perspective of what it's like to be exposed to an extreme situation in business.

The narrator was top notch but could do with learning how to correctly pronounce the most basic Japanese words to the same degree they can do various accents.
