David Taylor (attorney)
David Taylor is an American attorney and the founder of Taylor Strategic PC, a crisis management law firm.[1] From 2016 to 2018, Taylor was General Counsel and ultimately 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.[2][3]
Education[edit]
He received a bachelor's degree from Williams College and a Juris Doctor from the UC Berkeley School of Law.[4]
Career[edit]
Prior to joining Theranos, Taylor worked at Munger, Tolles & Olson, where he received the ACLU Foundation of Southern California's Humanitarian Award in June 2015 and was part of a team that won the California Lawyer Attorneys of the Year award in March 2016.[5] He previously practiced at the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia and Williams & Connolly LLP.[6]
Taylor joined Theranos in May 2016 as Senior Litigation Counsel and became General Counsel in November 2016.[7] In that role, 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.[8] Also under his watch, Theranos resolved a $140 million lawsuit brought by Walgreens (its former commercial partner)[9] and a $96.1 million lawsuit brought by an investor,[10] and secured a $100 million debt facility from Fortress Investment Group.[11] Taylor became Theranos' 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.[12]
