Former creative director of Theranos, Patrick O’Neill, exposed Holmes’ true face in Business Insider. Holmes expressed her desire to create a personal and corporate image similar to Apple and its founder Steve Jobs. She deliberately cultivated an intellectual image, not only by wearing black turtlenecks, emulating Jobs’ signature attire, but also by intentionally lowering her voice to speak with a deep tone in order to project a mature and dignified image. Holmes socialized with political and business elites, receiving endorsements from media mogul Rupert Murdoch. She even engaged in discussions at technology forums on equal footing with former US President Bill Clinton and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. Young, intelligent, and attractive, she instantly became the focus of media attention, even gracing the cover of Forbes magazine.
