Larry Katzen is an entrepreneur, author and lecturer. After graduating from Drake University in 1967, he started working at Arthur Andersen. He quickly rose through the ranks to eventually become the Great Plains Regional Managing Partner. He stayed with the firm for 35 years, serving clients on five continents (North America, Australia, Europe, Asia and Africa) until the firm's demise in 2002.
In world of constant turmoil, Larry's professional and personal careers have been models of consistency. In addition to his career with Arthur Andersen, he has been married to his college sweetheart, Susan for almost 50 years. They are the proud parents of quadruplets - three sons and one daughter, and the loving grandparents of seven children.
Since leaving Andersen, Larry has served as a member of the board of directors for three public companies and three privately held companies. He has spoken around the country to numerous universities regarding what happened to Andersen, why it happened and who was responsible. He recently had a movie script written on this story called "85,000" and is in process of getting it produced.
