He comes back to GE from Valeant Pharmaceuticals, which, according to Kathryn McCann in LegalBusiness.co.uk, is preparing a multibillion-dollar bid for Allergan, a botox maker. He was group chairman and executive vice president there, and had been COO at Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp., according to his LinkedIn account. Before going in-house, Hanson was with Arnold & Porter and a prosecutor for the antitrust division of the U.S. Department of Justice. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Cornell University and a law degree from Duke University School of Law.
