Theranos and Bad Blood: Risking it All to Do the Right Thing

Monday, September 22 at 4 p.m. in Broyhill Auditorium (Farrell A31)

At just 22 years old Tyler Shultz found himself at the center of a major ethical controversy as he uncovered duplicity and fraud at Theranos, the biotech company whose founder Elizabeth Holmes claimed their technology could run hundreds of tests on a single drop of blood. Despite family pressure, threats, legal action and even being under surveillance by private investigators hired by Theranos, Shultz played a pivotal role in exposing one of the most significant corporate frauds in Silicon Valley history. Come hear him reflect on his experiences, the leadership lessons he learned, and the role of character and moral courage in doing the right thing—even when it’s hard.

This event is free and open to the public.
