Donna Tosta to Lead Testing Operations at Millstone Medical Outsourcing

Millstone Medical Outsourcing has appointed Donna Tosta as vice president of Testing Operations. She will lead the company’s ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory testing operations across two facilities in Connecticut.

Testing delays are among the most common causes of missed device release dates, and quality and regulatory affairs leaders at OEMs depend on testing partners who can move quickly without sacrificing documentation integrity. Tosta’s background leading laboratory operations and compliance programs in the pharmaceutical industry will enable her to strengthen that combination of speed and discipline for Millstone customers, according to company executives.

Tosta joins Millstone from Evotec, a global drug discovery and development company, where she most recently served in laboratory and site operations leadership roles. She previously spent more than a decade at Pfizer in roles of increasing responsibility within Compound Management and Distribution, and began her career at Achillion Pharmaceuticals.

Tosta earned a bachelor of science degree in forensic science and chemistry from the University of New Haven.

“Donna has spent her career bringing discipline and clarity to lab operations under real regulatory pressure,” Millstone Medical Outsourcing CEO Karl Neuberger said. “That is exactly the kind of leadership our customers rely on when their release dates are on the line.”

Tosta joins Millstone as the company continues to build out its testing capabilities across accredited laboratories in Bloomfield and Willington, Conn., and West Warwick, R.I., supporting microbiology, chemistry, biocompatibility, and package testing for OEM partners nationwide.

Millstone Medical Outsourcing takes ownership of complex medical device programs through a single PO model. The company manages suppliers, develops and executes complex cleanroom assemblies, and integrates sterile packaging, laboratory testing, and logistics into a single, accountable program that reduces risk, protects margins, and accelerates time to revenue. Millstone is U.S. Food and Drug Administration-registered and ISO certified to ISO 13485:2016.
