Carly McWilliams '05

At the intersection of global policy and innovation as Roche Diagnostics' head of regulatory policy for North America, Carly works with an international team, collaborating across six continents to advance harmonization of medical regulations across the world with the intent to speed up patient access to vital diagnostic tools. “We’re trying to make regulatory requirements and standards more consistent worldwide,” she explains. “It’s like the Common App for colleges, but for diagnostics.”

Whether she’s shaping policy in D.C. or coordinating regulatory strategy across Europe, Asia, and beyond, she is focused on equity and innovation, especially in how diagnostics serve diverse populations and support public health worldwide.

Carly’s work remains grounded in the values she absorbed at Millbrook: curiosity, stewardship, and a deep sense of purpose. “Every day, I’m learning something new. And I still feel the influence of Millbrook—in how I think, how I communicate, and, most of all, how I connect with people.”
