Three decades in the room where technology meets regulation.

Founder & Principal

Chris Prader

I'm a technologist, operator, and advisor. I started in code in the late 1990s, spent fourteen years in IT management at Covance — a global clinical research organization — working across multiple US locations and international roles, then built RPM Technologies into a thirty-person managed service provider purpose-built for life sciences and defense. RPM was acquired in April 2026.

Trial Logic is the next chapter: smaller, more selective, and entirely hands-on. I take on every engagement personally. No account managers, no handoffs. The same judgment I applied running an MSP for regulated industries — where compliance, continuity, and security weren't optional — is now applied directly to AI and clinical trial technology problems.

I'm based in Orlando, FL and work with clients globally. If the problem involves AI, regulated data, clinical operations, or technology strategy in a high-stakes environment, it's probably the kind of work I've been doing in some form for thirty years.
