In an industry obsessed with cutting costs, Carissa Rollins is focused on something different: freeing people up to do better work. At Illumina, she’s not using AI to replace jobs; she’s using it to eliminate outdated, burdensome processes that waste talent and slow down impact. For Carissa, operational efficiency isn’t about doing more with less. It’s about giving smart people the space to solve real problems and serve patients more meaningfully.

In this episode of Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, Carissa joins Laurie McGraw to talk about how AI can be applied with intention, how tech leaders can drive human-centered transformation, and why eliminating inefficiency is only the first step.
