From Fortune 500 executive… to FBI whistleblower… to federal prison… to helping transform workplace culture through faith.
We’re closing out the year with one extraordinary story!
Join us for the MDCCC Networking Extravaganza featuring guest speaker Mark Whitacre, Vice President of Culture & Care and Executive Director of the t-factor initiative at Coca-Cola Consolidated.
Mark became the highest-ranking Fortune 500 executive to turn FBI whistleblower when he secretly wore a wire for three years to expose a global price-fixing cartel—while concealing decisions of his own that ultimately led to an 8½-year federal prison sentence. His remarkable story inspired the film *The Informant!*, starring Matt Damon.
But prison was not the end of his story.
After encountering Christ, Mark emerged with a transformed life and a new assignment. Today, he helps businesses integrate faith into workplace culture through corporate chaplaincy, prayer groups, marketplace ministry, and purpose-driven leadership.
Hear Mark share his powerful story and the lessons it holds about integrity, consequences, redemption, second chances, and what can happen when God enters a person’s story.
