Business Wire
Bausch + Lomb Corporation (NYSE/TSX: BLCO), a leading global eye
health company dedicated to helping people see better to live
better, today announced changes to its executive leadership team
including the creation of two new roles. The moves build on a
reshuffling announced in early June after Chairman and CEO Brent
Saunders, who previously served as CEO from 2010 to 2013, rejoined
Bausch + Lomb.
“Seizing the opportunity in front of us means acting swiftly,
which is why I’ve been so focused on establishing a refreshed
leadership team,” said Saunders. “It’s clear that people see our
potential and want to be part of our journey based on the talent
we’ve attracted.”
The following individuals will report directly to Saunders, with
start dates in August:
- Asli Gevgilili, executive vice president and chief human
resources officer. Gevgilili is currently chief human resources
officer at INOVIO Pharmaceuticals and previously held human
resources leadership roles at Allergan, Merck and Merrill
Lynch.
- Al Waterhouse, executive vice president and chief supply chain
and operations officer. Waterhouse most recently served as
president and CEO of AcuFocus and has held leadership positions at
health care and medical device companies, including Abbott Medical
Optics, Advanced Medical Optics and PCI Pharma Services.
Jonathon Kellerman will also join Bausch + Lomb in August and be
responsible for compliance, privacy and business transformation,
serving as chief compliance officer and reporting to Chief Legal
Officer Bob Bailey. Kellerman most recently served as a partner
leading the health care compliance practice at Boston Consulting
Group. He previously served as chief compliance officer at Allergan
and led the health care compliance practice at PwC.
Chief Communications Officer T.J. Crawford and Chief Corporate
Development and Digital Officer Manisha Narasimhan, Ph.D., recently
joined the company. Both roles, which are new to Bausch + Lomb,
report to Saunders.
Current Chief Global Manufacturing and Supply Chain Officer
Dennis Asharin will assume a new role as head of quality, reporting
to Waterhouse. Current Chief Human Resources Officer Kelly Webber
will step away from the corporate workplace after more than 35
years as an HR professional.
“Kelly will always be part of the Bausch + Lomb turnaround
story. I’m particularly grateful for her partnership since I
rejoined the company in February and her leadership in an area that
was significantly impacted by the pandemic,” continued
Saunders.
