May 26 (Reuters) - Embattled drugmaker Valeant
Pharmaceuticals International Inc VRX.N appointed Sam
Eldessouky senior vice president and corporate controller,
effective May 31.
Eldessouky joins from security systems maker Tyco
International Plc TYC.N , where he has worked since 2004, most
recently as senior vice president, controller and chief
accounting officer.
Valeant said in March that "improper conduct" by former
Chief Financial Officer Howard Schiller and former Corporate
Controller Tanya Carro had contributed to a misstatement of
financial results.
