Elizabeth Holmes: podcast appearances and interviews

Elizabeth Anne Holmes is an American biotechnology entrepreneur known for founding Theranos in 2003. The company gained rapid prominence in the early 2010s by claiming to have developed revolutionary blood testing methods that required only small volumes of blood, such as from a fingerprick. At its peak, Theranos was valued at approximately nine billion dollars, making Holmes one of the youngest and wealthiest self-made female billionaires in the United States according to Forbes. However, doubts about Theranos’s claims led to investigations by journalists and regulatory agencies beginning in 2015. These inquiries revealed concerns about the accuracy of the company's technology and questioned whether Holmes had provided truthful information to investors and the government. In 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission charged Holmes and her former chief operating officer with raising 700 million dollars through fraud. Holmes settled the charges by paying a fine, returning shares, relinquishing voting control, and accepting a ten-year ban from serving as an officer or director of a public company. Holmes's leadership at Theranos was marked by a secretive and fear-driven corporate culture, with reports of marginalized employees who raised concerns or objections. Her relationship with Ramesh
