Rocket Pharmaceuticals (RCKT) announced the resignation of its Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Aaron Ondrey, effective September 5, 2025. Ondrey will pursue other opportunities, as per a regulatory filing [1]. Martin Wilson, the company's General Counsel and Chief Corporate Officer, has been appointed as the interim Principal Financial Officer (PFO), effective September 8, 2025 [1].
Ondrey joined Rocket Pharmaceuticals in March 2024 and served as the CFO until his resignation. His total compensation for 2024 was approximately $3 million [3]. Wilson, who joined the company as General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer in November 2021 and became Chief Corporate Officer in March 2024, will take over the interim PFO role [3].
The resignation of Ondrey comes amidst significant developments for Rocket Pharmaceuticals. The company's pivotal Phase 2 trial of RP-A501 for Danon disease had a clinical hold lifted by the FDA in late July 2025 [2]. The FDA's decision to resume the trial, following a recalibrated dose and revised protocol, is a positive development for the company and its stock [2].

The changes in Rocket Pharmaceuticals' leadership and the FDA's decision on the pivotal trial are significant developments for the company. Investors should closely monitor these developments for potential impacts on the company's financial performance and stock price.
