Jerome Mayne

Jerome Mayne is a former white-collar criminal turned keynote speaker, focusing on empowering organizations to make ethical choices. After being charged with mail fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering stemming from his actions years earlier while working at his first job in finance, he received a 21-month prison sentence, which profoundly transformed his life and career trajectory.

Today, Mayne dedicates himself to helping individuals and organizations navigate ethically challenging situations to protect their reputations and bottom lines. His keynotes, including "Choices and Consequences" and "Survive Life – and Laugh Yourself to Death," leverage his personal journey from a finance professional to a federal inmate, and now a speaker, to underscore the severe consequences of unethical actions. His talks are designed to inspire audiences to take responsibility and make sound choices. Mayne's engaging speaking style, which incorporates humor and passion, has earned him positive feedback for being eye-opening, relevant, and enjoyable.

Beyond his focus on corporate ethics, Mayne also addresses personal adversity, sharing his experiences with overcoming cancer and heart surgery to enrich his motivational messages. His autobiography, "Diary of a White-Collar Criminal," provides a detailed account of his experiences and is available on platforms like Audible.

With over 20 years of experience as a keynote speaker, Mayne continues to influence a wide range of audiences, from Fortune 500 companies like Wells Fargo and MetLife to professional associations such as the Canadian Association of Accredited Mortgage Professionals and the California Society of CPAs, helping them to foster environments of integrity and ethical decision-making.
