Produktbeschreibung

Case Study from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Company formation, Business Plans, grade: 4.0, , language: English, abstract: "What do you dream will happen by 2025?" "That fewer people will have to say goodbye too soon to people that they love."" Theranos, a healthcare start-up, that promised to revolutionize blood testing, diagnoses, and the treatment of diseases, that was founded by Elizabeth Holmes, a Stanford dropout, in 2003, when she was just 19 years old. Elizabeth Holmes was named one of the richest women and youngest self-made female billionaire in the United States by Forbes. She had a 50 % stake in Theranos, worth $4.5 billion, which was valued at $9 billion at that point. She was compared to the geniuses of Western culture like Archimedes and Beethoven. After fifteen years of operating Theranos, it turned out; "Holmes was just another start-up scammer who used blustery talk and an unclear vision of her product to sell investors on a relatively flimsy concept".

Autorenporträt

I am a soon-to-be freshly minted Techpreneurship graduate from Harrisburg University of Science and Technology. In combining a rigorous academic experience with professional roles in the public and private sector, I have exemplified my keen ability to troubleshoot difficult problems, collaborate on teams, and develop strong relationships with a wide array of audiences. Recognized for improving operational optimization, I have a verifiable history of professional success as both an intern, student, and worker. Professional focal points include business development, entrepreneurship, IT systems, team leadership, process improvements, cross-functional team collaboration, and project management. Currently, I am an Operations & Project Management Intern with 1 Atelier. My professional experiences have been primarily in the fashion industry, however, I am seeking new opportunities within the technology sector and will soon have a graduate degree that supports that career path. Having completed courses such as Business Strategy and Management, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, and Economics of Scale, I have gained valuable insights into the intersection of technology and business. I am a self-starter with a pioneering spirit who is resourceful and able to take ownership of tasks quickly and reliably. I bring management experience and a willingness to take on added responsibility to meet tight deadlines. Colleagues and professors describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, enthusiastic team player with a strong work ethic and diligent problem-solving skills.
