Education and career

Parloff was educated at Yale Law School.[2] Before joining Fortune, he was a legal editor for Inside.com, the author of the book Triple Jeopardy,[3] and a senior reporter for The American Lawyer.[4] He began working at Fortune in 2004, and continued to work there until 2016. He served as an editor-at-large at Fortune from February 2015 until he left the magazine in November 2016.[5]

Reporting on Theranos

In 2014, he wrote a cover story for Fortune about the health technology company Theranos and its founder and CEO, Elizabeth Holmes. After John Carreyrou's reporting for the Wall Street Journal revealed serious problems with the company's technology, Parloff attempted, unsuccessfully, to get the company to tell him the number of tests they could conduct using a finger-stick blood sample. He subsequently published another article in Fortune describing the misleading statements made to him by the company.[6][7][8]
