Background

About David Rocco

Experienced project manager and PhD-trained scientist with 4–5 years of experience in the biopharma industry and a proven track record of leading client-facing projects in complex, fast-paced environments. Over the past 2 years, I’ve managed cross-functional programs in the cell & gene therapy space — driving project scope, timelines, budgets, and stakeholder communication across internal teams and external partners. Before stepping into a full-time project management role, I led scientific development efforts and managed early-phase client projects as a lead scientist, gaining hands-on experience aligning technical execution with business objectives. With a foundation in scientific rigor and a commitment to effective execution, I am passionate about bridging the gap between science and operations — helping teams execute with clarity, agility, and impact while supporting long-term business goals.
