Opinion | The Sexism That Led to the Elizabeth Holmes Trial - The New York Times
Ms. Pao is a tech investor and chief executive of Project Include, a diversity, equity and inclusion nonprofit. She is the author of "Reset: My Fight for Inclusion and Lasting Change," about her lawsuit against a venture capital firm and her experience running the technology company Reddit.
The op-ed is shit. Pao throws in whataboutism and she doesn't even bother to explain how Holmes isn't actually a criminal and a con artist.

Elizabeth Anne Holmes (born February 3, 1984) is an American former businesswoman who was the founder and chief executive of Theranos, a now-defunct health technology company. Theranos soared in valuation after the company claimed to have revolutionized blood testing by developing testing methods that could use surprisingly small volumes of blood, such as from a fingerprick. By 2015, Forbes had named Holmes the youngest and wealthiest self-made female billionaire in America on the basis of a $9-billion valuation of her company. The next year, following revelations of potential fraud about Theranos's claims, Forbes had revised its published estimate of Holmes's net worth to zero, and Fortune had named her one of the "World's Most Disappointing Leaders".
Damn. I thought Pao was alright, because she criticized reddit informally associating with Ghislaine Maxwell, and was forced out of reddit after she took the blame for making it more inclusive, while the new CEO kept all her changes and continued down the same path, only worse.
CEOs are never alright - now you know
