Kevin Roy

Kevin Roy is the Chief Public Policy Officer for Shatterproof, leading its national advocacy initiatives since 2018 at both the federal and state level. His team has collaborated with key industry stakeholders and advocates to advance critical policies to promote addiction solutions in more than 30 states and has worked with Congress to transform addiction education and reduce overdose deaths. This includes passage of the landmark Medication Access and Training Expansion (MATE) Act which was signed into law in December 2022 and requires addiction training for all medical professionals to obtain a DEA license to prescribe controlled substances. 

Kevin has also led a national effort to integrate mental health and addiction treatment into the primary care setting by expanding coverage of the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) in state Medicaid plans. When Shatterproof began this effort, only 14 states, with 21 million Medicaid members (27% of the national total), had activated the CoCM codes in their Medicaid plans. As of 2024, Shatterproof's efforts led to 35 states, with approximately 69 million members (88% of the national total). 

Additionally, Shatterproof has led a national coalition to demand transparency in opioid settlement funds, advancing policy in dozens of states. And most recently, Shatterproof is leading efforts to enact youth prevention policies in states that have legalized recreational marijuana, to protect our nation’s children.   

Prior to Shatterproof, Kevin was Executive Vice President for Autism Speaks where he led efforts that more than doubled the federal research budget for autism. He partnered with leaders in the disability community to pass the Stephen Beck, Jr. ABLE Act to create Section 529 savings accounts to help individuals and families finance disability needs, considered by some to be the most significant disability legislation since the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). 

Additionally, he has advised early-stage biotech and technology firms on their public affairs and market strategies through the consulting firm he founded. Prior to that, Kevin worked on Capitol Hill as a senior advisor on federal budget policy. Kevin earned his MBA from the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University and a BA from Dickinson College.
