David Taylor (attorney)

David Taylor is an American attorney and the CEO of Theranos, a privately held health technology company known for its false claims to have devised revolutionary blood tests using very small amounts of blood.[1][2] Taylor became CEO in June 2018 when founder and former CEO Elizabeth Holmes stepped down. Holmes' resignation came after she was charged with defrauding Theranos investors and patients.[3] Taylor joined Theranos in 2016 as general counsel, and he oversaw the settling of charges against the company levied by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Arizona Attorney General. [4] Prior to joining Theranos, Taylor worked at Munger, Tolles & Olson. He received a Bachelors Degree from Williams College and a JD from the UC Berkeley School of Law.[5]
