Rashmi Airan's mission is to share the need for ethical vigilance and to inspire you to make good ethical choices in all areas of your life. Rashmi is fighting to create a culture of conversation and bring ethical issues in business to light, to promote integrity, to enhance commitment to fiduciary duty, to build ethical leadership, and to shift the paradigm of ethics standards through ethics training.

Rashmi Airan, a first generation immigrant of Indian parents and the oldest of three daughters, was raised with high expectations to achieve. She had both professional and personal pressures. In addition to being a mother of two, Rashmi graduated with honors from Columbia Law School. After working for several major corporations, she launched an independent law practice in Miami, Florida. During the housing boom, she was recruited to work with a local real- estate developer who later engaged in questionable business practices. Rashmi's drive to succeed financially and provide for her children, among other factors, led her to make many bad decisions allowing the bank fraud to continue. She chose not to question her client's behavior and ignored her inner voice. Her involvement resulted in Rashmi losing her bar license, serving six months in federal prison, a $19 M restitution judgment, required community service hours, and 3 years supervised release.

Rashmi is now a public speaker, sharing her story to illustrate the ethical perils that can result from a drive to succeed and the blind spots created. She speaks on the multitude of factors that influenced her decision- making, the ethics standards of a fiduciary, the consequences for breaching such a duty, the imperatives of an effective compliance program, embedding ethical vigilance into corporate culture, overcoming adversity and more. She mines her vast legal and business expertise and tells her powerful story to deliver game- changing messages to universities, law firms, corporations, global multi- nationals, and trade associations. Rashmi redefines what it means to be successful and the need for ethical vigilance in an American culture where success is often obtained by any means necessary.
