Here is #10 on our "Top 10 Board Appointments of 2024 (so far)" -- Robbie Huffines to the Board of Directors at Walgreens. See below for explanation. For #9 (tomorrow) we turn to the autonomous driving industry.
Today, we are pleased to announce number 10 on BoardProspects Founder and CEO Mark Rogers' list of the “Top 10 Board Appointments of 2024 (so far).” Walgreens - Appointment of Robbie Huffines Pharmacy chains have been under significant pressure during the past several years as they face declining reimbursement rates as well as retail challenges from big box stores and Amazon. Walgreens is losing market share to its much larger rival CVS and is now planning store closures. It is clear that the chain needs to seek new opportunities to drive profitability and Robert Huffines has the experience and ability to lead a new strategy from the company’s boardroom. Huffines is the recently retired Chairman of Investment Banking at J.P. Morgan Chase where for more than 30 years he guided healthcare companies on strategy, mergers and acquisitions. It is difficult to think of a better appointment to Walgreen’s board under the present circumstances. The complete list of the “Top 10 Board Appointments of 2024 (so far)” will be shared in the upcoming issue of Board Recruitment. Subscribe here for the complete list: https://lnkd.in/eu3Gyjf7
