“Agnieszka “Agnes” Milewska-Kranc is worth following because she sits at the intersection of clinical research, medical device innovation, regulatory strategy, and global CRO leadership. With nearly 20 years of experience across pharma, biotech, medical devices, and CRO environments, she brings the rare perspective of someone who has worked from the ground level of clinical trial execution all the way to executive leadership. Her background spans early-phase oncology, immunotherapy, global project management, GCP/ISO 13485 auditing, regulatory submissions, CRO oversight, and medical device certification. As CEO of Genelytica, she is building a global CRO focused on medical devices and early-phase clinical research, supporting sponsors across the full product lifecycle — from pilot and pivotal studies to post-market evidence generation — with strong regulatory support under MDR, IVDR, and FDA requirements. What makes her especially valuable to follow is that she does not speak about innovation only in theory; she understands how to move a technology from concept, through clinical investigation and quality systems, toward regulatory readiness and market access. Agnes is also a strong voice for quality, patient safety, data integrity, and responsible innovation. Her experience as a GCP and ISO 13485 auditor gives her a practical, risk-aware view of how new technologies should be tested, validated, and brought to patients safely. In an industry where AI, clinical research, and medical device development are moving quickly, she is the kind of leader worth following because she combines scientific curiosity with operational discipline, regulatory depth, and a clear commitment to helping sponsors bring safer, better technologies to patients worldwide.”
