Anne Vogel has been called “a nerd who can communicate”. She bridges the gap between deep scientific expertise and broad operational leadership. With a PhD in molecular biology and experience leading both large and small teams, she has transitioned from expert to generalist—now navigating both worlds with ease.

As a member of the leadership team of MSAT (Manufacturing Science and Technology) at Kite, Anne is involved in strategic decisions, technology transfers, implements operational excellence solutions, and contributes to project and portfolio management as well as resource planning. Her work ensures that innovation and execution go hand in hand in the dynamic field of advanced CAR T-cell therapies.
