Walgreens Boots Names Three To Executive Team
Walgreens Boots Alliance has named three new members of its executive team as the company moves forward with its health services strategy.
Mary Langowski has been named executive vice president and president, U.S. Healthcare; Manmohan Mahajan has been appointed executive vice president and global chief financial officer; and Elizabeth Burger has been appointed executive vice president and chief human resources officer (CHRO).
“Today’s announcement solidifies the leadership team that will carry WBA into its future as we look to expand our reach beyond neighborhood pharmacies into the fastest-growing areas of healthcare,” said Tim Wentworth, chief executive officer at Walgreens Boots Alliance. “We have a strong team with a track record of operational excellence and an unwavering commitment to the execution of our goals.”
Langowski joins WBA after serving as CEO of Solera Health, a leading value-based technology business serving payers and employers, since 2020. Prior to Solera, she served as executive vice president and chief strategy and corporate development officer at CVS Health, where she helped lead the organization’s evolution and execution as a healthcare company, leading the foundational work for its healthcare services strategy and key aspects of CVS’ acquisition of Aetna.
Langowski will lead WBA’s U.S. Healthcare segment as Walgreens expands its role in healthcare, building on its strengths in pharmacy to unlock new areas of profitable growth and bringing high-value solutions to industry players, including payers, health systems, PBMs and biopharma manufacturers.
Mahajan joined the company in 2016 and previously served as senior vice president, global controller and chief accounting officer. Prior to joining the WBA, Mahajan served in positions of increasing responsibility with GE Capital, a former subsidiary of General Electric Company.
He has served as interim global CFO since July 2023 and has played an integral role in leading WBA’s growth and cost discipline efforts aimed at aligning the company’s cost structure with business performance. This includes a focused approach to increasing cash flow across the company by lowering capital expenditures and keeping the company on pace toward $1 billion in cost savings this year.
Burger, prior to joining WBA, served as senior vice president, CHRO at Flowserve, a leading provider of flow control products and services for the global infrastructure markets.
She formerly served as CHRO with Hanesbrands Inc., the world’s largest manufacturer and marketer of everyday basic apparel. She also previously worked at Monsanto Company in various roles of increasing responsibility, including senior vice president of global business operations.
