About this listen

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.

A fascinating story but the book is a disappointment. The characters weren't really brought to life.

The narrator sounded more suited to a children's book than a corporate thriller.

One of those true stories you hope will inspire others to blow the whistle on corruption in their workplace. Because nothing changes without people like Michael Woodford who are prepared to risk everything for what is right.
