Scout, a leader in services and technology for the biopharmaceutical industry, announces the appointment of Moisha Platto as Chief Executive Officer. Platto succeeds Paige Bingham, who transitions to Executive Chairman of the Board, continuing the legacy initiated by her mother, founder Patricia “Pat” Bingham.
“I’m honored to lead Scout into its next chapter, building upon its rich heritage while focusing on cutting-edge solutions,” stated Platto. “Our commitment to innovation and excellence will drive us forward.”
Platto joined Scout as a Strategic Advisor in 2021, assuming the role of COO in 2023. His experience includes serving as CEO and Co-founder of Omniphase, where he developed operational and financial solutions for life sciences organizations, and Chief Commercial Officer of PRA Health Sciences, leading commercial affairs and corporate development.
