John Martinson Named StatLab COO

StatLab Medical Products has hired John Martinson as chief operating officer, responsible for all manufacturing and supply chain operations.

Martinson was most recently senior vice president, head of Global Operations at Ascensia Diabetes Care, where he maintained operational continuity through the 24-month divestment from Bayer Corporation to an independent company. Prior to Ascensia he led operations for the Diabetes Care business as the vice president of Global Product Supply at Bayer, and before Bayer, he managed multi-site operations of seven plants at Honeywell International, where he was director of the company’s Integrated Supply Chain.

“I’m excited to join a team that is making significant investments in infrastructure and resources to increase its ability to better serve our customers. I look forward to supporting a stable product supply chain for our customers while capitalizing on new growth opportunities,” said Martinson.

Martinson earned his bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering from Clarkson University and his MBA from LeMoyne College.
 
“John’s senior leadership experience and track record of delivering results while strengthening global supply chains will help us solidify StatLab’s focus on the customer as well as our ability to grow our market position,” said Mike Karsonovich, StatLab CEO. “His energy and history of managing teams in transition across multiple sites will be an immediate asset to our organization.”
