Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. is set to name Starbucks Corp. operating chief Roz Brewer as its next chief executive, according to people familiar with the matter, setting her up to be the only Black female leading a Fortune 500 company today.
Ms. Brewer will replace CEO Stefano Pessina, who said in July that he would step down as CEO once the drugstore company found a new leader. Mr. Pessina, one of Walgreens’ biggest individual investors, said he was planning to stay on the company’s board and serve as executive chairman. Starbucks said Tuesday that Ms. Brewer was leaving at the end of February for a new role at another public company. Before joining the coffeehouse chain, Ms. Brewer was CEO of Walmart Inc.’s Sams Club division.
karaswisher Can't do worse than the Brits from Boots have.
karaswisher Walgreens as a Destination. probably a smart move
I don’t get it? They don’t hire anyone for any Corp position who doesn’t have a related background,but they hire someone who doesn’t neither as their ceo? She could be excellent, but Starbucks has had a tough few years.
Good for them! Good people but it’s the worse ran company I’ve ever worked for lol
She made bucks as a star, but it’s wall to wall greenbacks from here on out!
wow
Hot coffee at the pharmacy now? A Starbucks in every Walgreens xD
