Exiger CEO Commends EO to Prioritize American Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Resilience

WASHINGTON, DC. AUGUST 15, 2025 – Exiger applauds the White House’s Executive Order to fill the Strategic Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Reserve (SAPIR) and strengthen Americans’ long-term access to essential medicines. For years, Exiger has worked across industry, Congress, and federal agencies to map and monitor the multi-tier pharmaceutical supply chains that underpin U.S. healthcare. Through 1Exiger, the AI analytics platform, Exiger has illuminated the risks posed by overreliance on foreign-sourced active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), including concentration risk, quality breakdowns, and the presence of unethical labor practices.

Brandon Daniels, CEO of Exiger, said: “This Executive Order moves the country from diagnosing the problem to building a buffer against it. By combining stockpiling with precise, data-driven visibility into where ingredients come from, policymakers and U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturers can target the right APIs, diversify away from single points of failure, and ensure that the medicines in our cabinets aren’t compromised by geopolitical leverage or unethical practices.”
