Haber replaces Gary W. Brown, who has led the board since 2009. Brown is leaving to become CEO of CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank. 

Haber has nearly 30 years of management experience in the medical distribution industry. Haber is president of BJH Management, LLC, a firm specializing in turnaround consulting, private equity, and real estate investments.

"I am honored to be elected Chairman of Mercy College’s Board of Trustees. Mercy is an institution which provides a quality education to students, many of whom because of financial obstacles, might otherwise not have the opportunity to attend a private college,” said Haber. “I hope to lead the way in helping the College fulfill its vision, and help shape the lives of the students we all care so much about.”

Brown said he was pleased to have someone like Haber succeed him on the board. 

"Bruce has made enormous contributions to Mercy College since he joined the board nine years ago." said Brown. "Bruce brings extensive expertise to the table, as well as a passion for advancing student success through education."

Mercy College President Tim Hall said he was excited to have Haber take over as chairman.

"His experience and passion for Mercy students is evident in the work he has done here," Hall said. "I know his leadership will be a great asset to the board and to Mercy College.”

Prior to being elected chairman, Haber served as chair of the Finance and Control Committee and as chair of the Compensation Committee. He has a B.S. in Economics and Finance from the City College of New York, and an M.B.A. in Finance from Baruch College. Haber resides on Long Island with his wife Michele.
