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.
