Bausch Health names new CFO
Bausch + Lomb parent company Bauch Health named Sam Eldessouky as its new finance chief this week, as it looks to speed up the spinoff of Bausch + Lomb.
Eldessouky joined Bausch Health, previously known as Valeant Pharmaceuticals, in 2016 as senior vice president and corporate controller.
Bausch Health is currently seeking to spin off Bausch + Lomb into a separate publicly listed firm. While these plans were announced in August last year, activist investor Glenview Capital Management has called for the spin-off to be completed by the end of 2021.
