Chris Cobourn Joins Huron Life Sciences Focused on Supporting Pharmaceutical Companies in Developing and Implementing Government Price Reporting Solutions

Huron Consulting Group (NASDAQ: HURN), a leading provider of business consulting services, today announced that Chris Cobourn has joined the Company as a managing director in its Huron Life Sciences practice. Cobourn will support the operational needs of pharmaceutical and bio-tech companies to help ensure appropriate and accurate reimbursement for products covered by federal health care programs.

“There is an increasing need for consulting services across commercial and government operations, especially with the continued growth, complexity, and risks associated with government program participation,” said Paul J. Silver, managing director and Huron Life Sciences practice leader. “Chris will work closely with life sciences companies to help develop and implement the pre-commercial support initiatives and provide additional leadership in the government pricing area. Chris brings exceptional depth and leadership to this sector of our business during a time of anticipated change due to the impact the CMS AMP Final Rule may have on pharmaceutical manufacturers. We are thrilled to welcome Chris to our team.”

Cobourn has more than 15 years of experience working with life sciences companies to help them develop and implement government compliance programs including pre-commercial support, government pricing consulting services, and commercial and government operational support. Cobourn comes to Huron Life Sciences from Compliance Implementation Services, LLC (CIS) where he served as senior vice president, Government Programs & Consulting Services and Practice Lead. He launched and managed the government pricing and compliance implementation services for nearly ten years.

Cobourn will provide additional leadership to Huron Life Sciences’ business process outsourcing and pre-commercialization services, helping clients understand the market and develop competitive commercial strategies. These services will help clients analyze commercial and government purchasers of drugs, complexities of government program participation and requirements to bring products to market in a cost-efficient way.
