Stéphanie Gibaud

Stéphanie Gibaud is a public relations expert, event marketing specialist and whistleblower. In 2008, while working for the Marketing department of UBS, her employer asked her to shred documents while an investigation by the French government was taking place. Risking jail, 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 The Woman Who Knew Far Too Much, and The Hunt to Break Down Whistleblowers.
