Description

This episode dissects how 23andMe’s data breach spiraled into a governance and trust crisis: board resignations, founder buyback optics amid bankruptcy, and a public response that blamed users. Hosts Anne Marie Malecha and Stacy Bratcher detail why entity-based health privacy expectations collided with a consumer retail DNA product, how directors’ fiduciary duties and D&O coverage factor into risk, and why the first 24 hours require empathy, precision, and audience segmentation. The Fast Four closes with clear, memorable guardrails for leaders handling high-sensitivity data.
