Eric Pillmore(SVP Corporate Governance, Tyco International)
December 11, 2007
When he came to Tyco with the mandate of instilling “ethics,” the company was a sinking ship (with expensive shower curtains) thought to be beyond a cultural recovery. However, through a lot of frank talk (and through removing or replacing 90% of headquarters staff), Tyco and former Navy officer Pillmore managed a model corporate-culture turnaround from one of the most iconic examples of corporate malfeasance into a strong role model in the business ethics world. Pillmore left the company in late 2007, but was fighting to clean it up all the way to the end.
