Sarah Ptach is the president and CEO of Canyon Labs, a leading provider of medical device and pharmaceutical testing, consulting, and sterilization services. She joined the company during a pivotal ownership transition with a clear mission to elevate industry standards and build a true end-to-end solutions partner. Leveraging her background in packaging engineering and testing, Ptach has expanded Canyon’s focus beyond packaging to deliver a more integrated, accessible, and expertise-driven experience for clients. She began her career in professional sports and advertising. A personal turning point came when her father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, which inspired her to pursue work that could create a meaningful impact in healthcare. She went on to help grow and successfully exit a packaging firm before bringing her vision and leadership to Canyon Labs. In addition to her role at Canyon, Ptach co-leads Kilmer Innovations in Packaging (KiiP) and serves on the board of the Medical Device Packaging Technical Committee (MDPTC) of the Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP). She remains deeply committed to advancing healthcare through innovation, expertise, and strong partnerships.
