Diane C. Harris

Diane Harris is widely acclaimed for her work with mergers, acquisitions and divestitures.

She created and launched a mergers and acquisitions program at vision care and pharmaceuticals giant Bausch & Lomb, implementing a billion-dollar corporate restructuring program. This included divesting 25 operations that no longer fit the corporate strategies, and completing 230 transactions (47 of them acquisitions) that provided half of Bausch & Lomb's growth every year for a decade.

Ms. Harris works with CEOs contemplating growth programs, with corporate development heads and CFOs needing extra resources, and with corporate counsel searching for creative strategies to bridge the "negotiating gap."

She collaborates with The Duncan Company on the human asset analysis associated with mergers and acquisitions due diligence.

Diane Harris is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Catholic University and holds a Master's degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
