President, General Manager, and Co-Founder of Riparian

David Chan has overall responsibility for the strategic direction of Riparian, product development, and specific client initiatives. An experienced entrepreneur, David brings 20+ years of experience in the life sciences where he has orchestrated the efforts of numerous multidisciplinary and cross-functional teams, and assisted organizations with financial, operational, and government exposures inherent in the complex and self-reporting nature of contractual arrangements.

David has seen firsthand how breakthrough innovations can only happen when we challenge what is possible, which has inspired his radically different approach to problem-solving. His experience is extensive, including in assisting numerous pharmaceutical manufacturers and counsel with compliance issues related to various government pricing (GP) programs. David has led the development of detailed reports for GP assessments; guided numerous pharmaceutical manufacturers through assessments of their compliance methodologies, policies, and procedures; and has overseen the implementation and integration of the findings, including training GP teams and the broader organization.
