Management Team
Paul DiPerna
Founder and President
Paul leads the Modular Medical organization. He possesses over 30 years of experience in the medical device industry as a technologist, business executive and founder of several successful startups. He has been deeply involved in Diabetes care for the past 20 years.
Paul’s early background includes key roles at Baxter Healthcare where he worked in cell separation product design, high volume manufacturing, business development, initial startups to evaluate technology within the spaces between divisions, corporate project management and technical diligence on acquisitions. Upon leaving Baxter in 2003, Paul founded, created the technology, and was CEO and board member for a diabetes delivery innovation that became Tandem Diabetes Care (TNDM, $450M IPO in 2013). Paul also co-invented the Ivera Medical blood-borne infection control device technology and provided guidance through the company’s successful $150M exit to 3M in 2015. During the transition, Paul assisted in production enhancements, refining product performance and intellectual property that led to demonstrated reductions in blood-borne infections and nurse compliance.
In 2015, Paul founded what is now Modular Medical, an initially self-funded diabetes delivery technology company that merged into a financed public shell in 2017. At Modular Medical, Paul’s focus is on the use of disruptive micro pumping technology and a simplified user experience for those less able and motivated to manage diabetes using current technologies.
Paul has serves on several boards to help guide many early stage startups. Paul received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Massachusetts and a Master’s in Engineering Management from Northeastern University. Mr. DiPerna holds over 70 patents, primarily in blood separation technologies, micro pumping and systems for the care of diabetes.
