About Albert J. Dunlap

  • Albert John Dunlap (July 26, 1937 – January 25, 2019) was an American corporate executive.

  • It was later discovered that his reputed turnarounds were elaborate frauds and his career was ended after he engineered a massive accounting scandal at Sunbeam Products, now a division of Newell Brands, that forced the company into bankruptcy.
  • Dunlap is on the lists of "Worst CEOs of All Time" published by several business publications.
  • Fast Company noted that Dunlap "might score impressively on the Corporate Psychopathy checklist" and in an interview, Dunlap freely admitted to possessing many of the traits of a psychopath, but considered them positive traits such as leadership and decisiveness.
