Exhibit 10.1

Confidential

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”) by and between Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Timothy C. Wentworth (“Employee”) is entered into as of October 9, 2023 (the “Effective Date”).

1 Employment and Term. The Company (or a subsidiary thereof) hereby agrees to employ Employee, and Employee hereby agrees to be employed by the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The parties agree that the term of this Agreement shall (a) commence on October 23, 2023 (such date, the “Commencement Date”), and (b) shall end on Employee’s Termination Date (as defined in the Company’s Executive Severance and Change in Control Plan (the “Severance Plan”)), as it may be amended from time to time. The period of Employee’s employment with the Company pursuant to the terms hereof shall be referred to herein as the “Employment Period.” Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, this Agreement shall be null and void, ab initio, if the Employment Period does not commence on or prior to November 1, 2023.

2 Position and Duties. The Company shall employ Employee during the Employment Period as its Chief Executive Officer, or in such other position(s) as may be agreed between the parties. Employee shall report solely and directly to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). During the Employment Period, Employee shall have the responsibilities and duties as those normally associated with such position in companies of a similar nature and stature, as well as such other responsibilities as may, from time to time, be duly authorized or directed by the Board. During the Employment Period, Employee shall perform faithfully and loyally and to the best of his abilities the duties assigned to him hereunder. Employee shall act at all times in accordance with what is in the best interests of the Company. During the Employment Period, Employee shall devote his full business time, attention and effort to the affairs of the Company, its parent and subsidiary corporations, affiliates, successors and assigns and shall not, during the Employment Period, be engaged in any other business activity whether or not such business activity is pursued for gain, profit or other pecuniary advantage, without the prior written consent of the Board. The foregoing is not intended to restrict Employee’s ability to: (a) engage in charitable, civic or community activities to the extent that such activities do not materially interfere with his duties hereunder; (b) serve on the board of directors (or similar governing bodies) of a company (other than the Company); provided that, the Board, in its sole discretion, has granted prior written consent; nor (c) to enter into passive investments that do not compete in any way with the Company’s business. Employee shall work full-time from the Company’s headquarters (currently in Deerfield, Illinois). The Company shall take all actions necessary to appoint Employee to the Board on or promptly following the Commencement Date.

3 Compensation. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee’s right to compensation under this Agreement shall terminate on the Termination Date except as otherwise provided hereunder. As compensation in full for services to be rendered by Employee hereunder, the Company shall pay to Employee the following compensation:

3.1 Base Salary. During the Employment Period, Employee shall be paid an annual base salary (the “Base Salary”) at the annualized rate of $1,500,000. Employee’s Base Salary shall be paid to him according to the regular payroll schedule used for employees generally. Employee’s Base Salary shall be subject to future adjustments as determined by the Compensation and Leadership Performance Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”).

3.2 Annual Bonus. Employee shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus with a target amount equivalent to 200% of the Base Salary (or such other base earnings calculation as applicable) in accordance with the Company’s bonus plan applicable to executive officers of the Company. The actual amount of the bonus payable with respect to a fiscal year (the “Bonus”) shall be determined by the Compensation Committee. The Bonus shall be paid in accordance with the plans, policies and procedures adopted by the Compensation Committee from time to time, but paid through the Company’s payroll process. Except as applicable under the Severance Plan, Employee must not have previously given Notice of Termination (as defined in the Severance Plan) and must be employed by the Company on the day of the payout to receive the Bonus.

3.3 Long-Term Incentive Compensation. Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s long-term incentive compensation program (which is currently provided pursuant to the Company’s 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”)) on the terms and conditions determined by the Compensation Committee and communicated to Employee. Subject to the approval of the Board or its designee, within 60 days following the Commencement Date, the Company shall grant Employee equity incentives under the Omnibus Plan with a grant date value equal to $12,000,000, which will be subject to the terms and conditions of the equity-based incentive awards provided to the Company’s executive officers (the “Initial Grant”). The Initial Grant shall be granted with terms and conditions consistent with the long-term incentive plan applicable to the Company’s executive officers, which is expected to be comprised of restricted stock units. Fifty percent (50%) of the Initial Grant shall vest over time in equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant, and the remaining 50% of the Initial Grant shall vest at the end of a three-year performance period based on the achievement of certain performance metrics detailed in the applicable performance stock unit award agreement (in each case, subject to continued employment or service through the applicable vesting date). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Omnibus Plan or any award agreement granted to Employee thereunder or the Severance Plan, to the extent Employee becomes entitled to any accelerated vesting or other special benefits under the Omnibus Plan or the Severance Plan due to a termination of employment for any reason, such accelerated vesting or special benefits shall be subject to Employee timely delivering to the Company (and not subsequently revoking) a general waiver and release of claims in favor of the Company and its related parties in such form and with such terms and conditions as are reasonably acceptable to the Company (which release shall include an affirmation of all restrictive covenants owed to the Company and its related parties).

3.4 Benefits. During the Employment Period, Employee shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ employee benefit plans or programs generally available to similarly situated executive employees of the Company, including all health, dental, drug and vision coverage, life insurance and financial planning benefits; provided that, Employee meets all eligibility requirements under each such plan or program. Employee’s participation in the employee benefit plans or programs shall be subject to the terms and conditions of said plans or programs, including, without limitation, the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ right to amend, revise, terminate or replace the plans or programs at any time and without notice to participants.

3.5 Expense Reimbursement. During the Employment Period, the Company and its subsidiaries, as applicable, shall reimburse Employee, in accordance with the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ policies and procedures, for all proper and reasonable expenses incurred by him in the performance of his duties hereunder. Additionally, (a) in connection with any reasonable expenses associated with Employee’s relocation to the Chicagoland area to perform his duties hereunder, the Company will provide reimbursements for such expenses in accordance with Company policy, and (b) the Company will work with Employee in good faith to audit Employee’s personal security needs and provide reasonable personal security assistance during the Employment Period, in each of cases (a) and (b), in accordance with the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ policies and procedures.

3.6 Corporate Aircraft. Subject to Employee’s compliance with the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ policies and procedures with respect to corporate air travel, Employee shall have access to the Company’s corporate aircraft for business travel purposes. Additionally, subject to Employee’s compliance with the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ policies and procedures with respect to corporate air travel, Employee shall also have access to the Company’s corporate aircraft for personal travel up to 75 hours per fiscal year (pro-rated for partial years of service).

3.7 Claw Back. Employee acknowledges and agrees that any compensation or benefits paid to Employee by the Company, pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, shall be subject to recovery by the Company if Employee violates any of his restrictive covenant obligations owed to the Company or in accordance with Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or any other claw back law, policy or regulation applicable to executives of the Company, if any, as amended from time to time, and any claw back provisions provided in any bonus or equity grant documents or the Company’s equity compensation plan or pursuant to other Company policies.

4 Termination. The Employment Period shall terminate on the earliest Termination Date to occur due to the following: (a) Employee’s death; (b); Employee’s Disability (as defined in the Severance Plan); (c) Employee’s termination by the Company with or without Cause (as defined in the Severance Plan and at the request of the Board); and (d) Employee’s resignation from the Company with or without Good Reason (as applicable and defined in the Severance Plan). Employee shall be entitled to participate in the Severance Plan and will receive only the payments and benefits (if any) pursuant to all of its terms, conditions, triggering events, and restrictions. For the avoidance of doubt and consistent with the Severance Plan, Employee’s Termination Date shall occur (and the Employment Period shall end) on the date designated by the Company (or by Employee in the case of a voluntary termination, subject to earlier termination by the Company in its sole discretion). Upon any termination of Employee’s employment for any reason, except as may otherwise approved by the Board and agreed upon by Employee in writing, Employee shall immediately and automatically be deemed to resign from and relinquish any and all directorships, committee memberships, powers of attorney, signature authorizations, and any other positions Employee holds with or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates.

5 Indemnification. In the event that Employee is made a party or threatened to be made a party to any action or suit brought by a former employer based on Employee’s employment with the Company, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Employee, subject to any limitations under applicable law and subject to and in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws, D&O policies, and any other applicable indemnification agreements and arrangements.

6 Restrictive Covenants. As a condition to the commencement of the Employment Period, Employee shall execute the Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A. Employee may also be subject to similar agreements as a condition to certain awards under the Omnibus Plan.

19 Survival of Obligations. The parties expressly agree that Employee’s obligations set forth in this Agreement (and any exhibits attached hereto), as well as any other obligations that would naturally survive termination of an employment agreement, shall survive termination of Employee’s employment (whether voluntary or involuntary and whether with or without Cause and whether with or without Good Reason) and shall also survive the end of the term of this Agreement.

20 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same original instrument. A facsimile signature shall be deemed an original signature for purposes of execution of this Agreement.

21 Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary:

21.1 All provisions of this Agreement are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended, the “Code”) and the applicable Department of Treasury regulations and administrative guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”) or an exemption therefrom and shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intent. Any payments under this Agreement that may be excluded from Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service or as a short-term deferral shall be excluded from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible. For purposes of Section 409A, each installment payment provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. Any payments to be made under this Agreement upon a termination of Employee’s employment shall only be made if such termination of employment constitutes a “separation from service” under Section 409A.

21.2 To the extent that any right to reimbursement of expenses or payment of any benefit in-kind under this Agreement constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A), (a) any such expense reimbursement shall be made by the Company no later than the last day of Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which such expense was incurred by Employee, (b) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and (c) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other taxable year; provided that, the foregoing clause shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period in which the arrangement is in effect.

- 6 -

21.3 If any payment or benefit provided for herein would be subject to additional taxes and interest under Section 409A if Employee’s receipt of such payment or benefit is not delayed until the earlier of (a) the date of Employee’s death or (b) the date that is six months after the Termination Date (such date, the “Section 409A Payment Date”), then such payment or benefit shall not be provided to Employee (or Employee’s estate, if applicable) until the Section 409A Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement are exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by Employee on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.

EXHIBIT A

WALGREENS BOOTS ALLIANCE, INC.

NON-COMPETITION, NON-SOLICITATION AND CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

This Agreement (the “Non-Compete Agreement”) is entered into this 9th day of October, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), by the undersigned employee, Timothy C. Wentworth (“Employee” or “I”), and Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc., a Delaware corporation, on behalf of itself, its affiliates, subsidiaries, successors and assigns (collectively referred to as the “Company”).

WHEREAS, the Company develops and/or uses valuable business, technical, proprietary, customer and patient information it protects by limiting its disclosure and by keeping it secret or confidential;

WHEREAS, Employee acknowledges that during the course of employment, he or she has or will receive, contribute, or develop such Confidential Information and Trade Secrets (as defined below); and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to protect from third parties (e.g. competitors and customers) such Confidential Information and Trade Secrets and also desires to protect its legitimate business interests and goodwill in maintaining its employee and customer relationships.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, including but not limited to employment or continued employment, new or additional compensation in connection with Employee’s hire or promotion, the specialized knowledge, skill and training that the Company provides Employee, and the goodwill that Employee develops with customers on behalf of the Company, Employee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Non-Compete Agreement as follows:

1. Confidentiality.

(a) At all times during and after the termination of my employment with the Company, I will not, without the Company’s prior written permission, directly or indirectly for any purpose other than performance of my duties for the Company, utilize or disclose to anyone outside of the Company any Trade Secrets (defined in subparagraph 1(a)(i)) or other Confidential Information (defined in subparagraph 1(a)(ii)) or any information received by the Company in confidence from or about third parties, as long as such matters remain Trade Secrets or otherwise confidential.

(i) For purposes of this Non-Compete Agreement, “Trade Secrets” means a form of intellectual property that are protectable under applicable state and/or Federal law, including the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (as amended and adapted by the states) and the Federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (the “DTSA”). They include all tangible and intangible (e.g., electronic) forms and types of information that is held and kept confidential by the Company and is not generally known outside of the Company, including but not limited to information about: the Company’s financial, business, scientific, technical, economic, or engineering information, including patterns, plans, compilations, program devices, formulas, designs, prototypes, methods, techniques, processes, procedures, programs or codes, and may in particular include such things as pricing information, business records, software programs, algorithms, inventions, patent applications, and designs and processes not known outside the Company.

(ii) For purposes of this Non-Compete Agreement, “Confidential Information” means Trade Secrets and, more broadly, any other tangible and intangible (e.g., electronic) forms and types of information that are held and kept confidential by the Company and are not generally known outside the Company, and which relates to the actual or anticipated business of the Company or the Company’s actual or prospective vendors or clients. Confidential Information shall not be considered generally known to the public if is revealed improperly to the public by me or others without the Company’s express written consent and/or in violation of an obligation of confidentiality to the Company. Examples of Confidential Information include, but are not limited to: customer, referral source, supplier and contractor identification and contacts; special contract terms; pricing and margins; business, marketing and customer plans and strategies; financial data; company created (or licensed) techniques; technical know-how; research, development and production information; processes, prototypes, software, patent applications and plans, projections, proposals, discussion guides, and/or personal or performance information about employees.

(b) I understand that this obligation of non-disclosure shall last so long as the information remains confidential. I, however, understand that, if I live and work primarily in Wisconsin, Virginia, or any other state requiring a temporal limit on non-disclosure clauses, Confidential Information shall be protected for two years following termination of my employment (for any reason). I also understand that Trade Secrets are protected by statute and are not subject to any time limits. I also agree to contact the Company before using, disclosing, or distributing any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets if I have any questions about whether such information is protected information.

(c) The restrictions set forth in this paragraph are in addition to and not in lieu of any obligations or rights I have by law with respect to the Company’s Confidential Information. Consistent with subparagraph 9(n) below, nothing herein shall prohibit me from disclosing Confidential Information or Trade Secrets if compelled by order of court or an agency of competent jurisdiction or as required by law; however, I shall take reasonable steps to protect such disclosure of Confidential Information or Trade Secrets. Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (DTSA), I understand that an individual may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a Trade Secret that: (A) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Additionally, I understand that an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the Trade Secret to his or her attorney and use the Trade Secret information in the court proceeding, so long as any document containing the Trade Secret is filed under seal and the individual does not disclose the Trade Secret, except pursuant to court order. Nothing in this Non-Compete Agreement is intended to conflict with the DTSA or create liability for disclosures of Trade Secrets that are expressly allowed by DTSA.

2. Non-Competition. I agree that during my employment with the Company and for two years after the termination of my employment (for any reason), I will not, directly or indirectly have Responsibilities with respect to any Competing Business Line. As set forth in subparagraph 9(b) below, I understand that the restrictions in this paragraph apply no matter whether my employment

A-2

is terminated by me or the Company and no matter whether that termination is voluntary or involuntary. These restrictions shall not apply to passive investments of less than 5% ownership interest in any entity. For purposes of this Non-Compete Agreement, “Responsibilities” means the same or similar material responsibilities I performed for the Company during the two years prior to my last day of employment with the Company and within the same geographic area, or portion thereof, where I performed those responsibilities for the Company. For purposes of this Non-Compete Agreement, “Competing Business Line” means any business that is in competition with any business engaged in by the Company and for which I had Responsibilities during the two years prior to my last day of employment with the Company. Competing Business Line shall also include businesses or business lines that may not be directly competitive with the Company in most respects (such as pharmacy benefit managers), but only to the extent I am engaged by any such business in a role: (a) that involves my performing Responsibilities for Competing Products or Services; or (b) where my knowledge of the Company’s Confidential Information could be used by a competitor to unfairly compete with or undermine the Company’s legitimate business interests. For purposes of this Non-Compete Agreement, “Competing Products or Services” means products or services that are competitive with products or services offered by, developed by, designed by or distributed by the Company during the two years prior to my last day of employment with the Company.

3. Non-Solicitation. I agree that during my employment with the Company and for two years after the termination of my employment from the Company (for any reason):

(a) I will not directly or indirectly, solicit any Restricted Customer for purposes of providing Competing Products or Services, or offer, provide or sell Competing Products or Services to any Restricted Customer. For purposes of this Non-Compete Agreement, “Restricted Customer” means any person, company or entity that was a customer, vendor, supplier or referral source of the Company and with which I had direct contact for purposes of performing responsibilities for the Company or for which I had supervisory responsibilities on behalf of the Company, in either case at any time during the two years prior to my last day of employment with the Company. To the extent permitted by applicable law, “Restricted Customer” also means any prospective customer(s), vendor(s), supplier(s) or referral source(s) with which I had business contact on behalf of the Company in the one year period immediately prior to my last day of employment with the Company; and

(b) I will not, nor will I assist any third party to, directly or indirectly (i) raid, solicit, or attempt to persuade any then-current employee of the Company with whom I currently directly work or with whom I had direct contact work during the two years prior to my last day of employment with the Company, and who possesses or had access to Confidential Information of the Company, to leave the employ of the Company; (ii) interfere with the performance by any such employee of his/her duties for the Company; and/or (iii) communicate with any such employee for the purposes described in items (i) and (ii) in this subparagraph 3(b).

4. Non-Inducement. I will not directly or indirectly assist or encourage any person or entity in carrying out or conducting any activity that would be prohibited by this Non-Compete Agreement if such activity were carried out or conducted by me.

5. Non-Disparagement. During my employment with the Company and thereafter, I agree not to make negative comments or otherwise disparage the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, members, agents or products. The foregoing shall not be violated by truthful statements in response to legal process, required governmental testimony or filings, or administrative or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings); and the foregoing shall not apply to any claims for harassment or discrimination to the extent so restricted by applicable state law.

A-3

6. Intellectual Property. The term “Intellectual Property” shall mean all trade secrets, ideas, inventions, designs, developments, devices, software, computer programs, methods and processes (whether or not patented or patentable, reduced to practice or included in the Confidential Information) and all patents and patent applications related thereto, all copyrights, copyrightable works and mask works (whether or not included in the Confidential Information) and all registrations and applications for registration related thereto, all Confidential Information, and all other proprietary rights contributed to, or conceived or created by, or reduced to practice by me or anyone acting on my behalf (whether alone or jointly with others) at any time from the beginning of my employment with the Company to the termination of that employment plus 90 days, that (i) relate to the business or to the actual or anticipated research or development of the Company; (ii) result from any services that I or anyone acting on my behalf perform for the Company; or (iii) are created using the equipment, supplies or facilities of the Company or any Confidential Information.

(a) Ownership. All Intellectual Property is, shall be and shall remain the exclusive property of the Company. I hereby assign to the Company all right, title and interest, if any, in and to the Intellectual Property; provided, however, that, when applicable, the Company shall own the copyrights in all copyrightable works included in the Intellectual Property pursuant to the “work-made-for-hire” doctrine (rather than by assignment), as such term is defined in the 1976 Copyright Act. All Intellectual Property shall be owned by the Company irrespective of any copyright notices or confidentiality legends to the contrary that may be placed on such works by me or by others. I shall ensure that all copyright notices and confidentiality legends on all work product authored by me or anyone acting on his/her behalf shall conform to the Company’s practices and shall specify the Company as the owner of the work. The Company hereby provides notice to me that the obligation to assign does not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility, or Trade Secrets of the Company was used and which was developed entirely on my own time, unless (i) the invention relates (A) to the business of the Company, or (B) to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (ii) the invention results from any work performed by me for the Company.

(b) Keep Records. I shall keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and maintained by anyone acting on my behalf, adequate and current written records of all Intellectual Property in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, computer files, reports or other documents relating thereto. Such records shall be and shall remain the exclusive property of the Company and shall be available to the Company at all times during my employment with the Company.

(c) Assistance. I shall supply all assistance requested in securing for the Company’s benefit any patent, copyright, trademark, service mark, license, right or other evidence of ownership of any such Intellectual Property, and will provide full information regarding any such item and execute all appropriate documentation prepared by Company in applying or otherwise registering, in the Company’s name, all rights to any such item or the defense and protection of such Intellectual Property.

(d) Prior Inventions. I have disclosed to the Company any continuing obligations to any third party with respect to Intellectual Property. I claim no rights to any inventions created prior to his/her employment for which a patent application has not previously been filed, unless he/she has described them in detail on a schedule attached to this Non-Compete Agreement.

A-4

DEERFIELD, Ill., Oct. 10, 2023—Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (Nasdaq: WBA) today announced the appointment of Tim Wentworth as the company’s new Chief Executive Officer, effective on October 23. Mr. Wentworth will also join the WBA Board of Directors upon assuming the role.

Most recently, as founding CEO of Evernorth, Cigna’s health services organization that partners with health plans, employers and government organizations, Mr. Wentworth brought together health service capabilities including care provision, pharmacy solutions and benefits management.

Prior to Cigna, Mr. Wentworth was CEO of Express Scripts, the largest pharmacy benefit manager in the United States, following the company’s merger with Medco Health Solutions, Inc. in April 2012. He grew it into a Fortune 22 company with more than $100 billion in revenue and 26,000 employees, also ranking number 66 on Forbes Magazine’s list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies.

Previously, he led Medco’s employer and key accounts organizations for nearly 14 years, also serving as President and CEO of Accredo, Medco’s specialty pharmacy. Prior to joining Medco, Mr. Wentworth spent five years at Mary Kay, Inc., where he initially served as Senior Vice President of Human Resources and later, President of its international business. He also held roles of increasing responsibility over nine years in human resources management at PepsiCo. He has an associate’s degree in business from Monroe Community College and a bachelor’s degree in industrial and labor relations from Cornell University.

Mr. Wentworth joins WBA at a pivotal time, as the company focuses on right-sizing the business, while driving execution and creating greater value for employees, patients, customers and shareholders. WBA’s goal is to be the independent partner of choice, not just in pharmacy but also in healthcare services where it can improve healthcare, lower costs, and help patients.

“The WBA Board has been focused on bringing in a CEO with deep healthcare experience, and we are pleased to welcome Tim Wentworth as the company’s new CEO. He is an accomplished and respected leader with profound expertise in the payer and pharmacy space as well as supply chain, IT and Human Resources. We are confident he is the right person to lead WBA’s next phase of growth into a customer-centric healthcare company,” said Stefano Pessina, Executive Chairman, WBA. “I look forward to working with Tim, as well as the rest of the Board and WBA leadership, to lead WBA into a successful future. I also want to thank Ginger Graham for her leadership and immense commitment to our people and operations during this interim period. We look forward to welcoming her back as the Board’s Lead Independent Director.”

“I am honored and excited for the incredible opportunity to lead the next phase of WBA’s evolution, working with the Board and WBA leadership to deliver sustainable value and results. WBA has a differentiated model with the power to build on the company’s pharmacy strength and trusted brand to evolve healthcare delivery. I believe in WBA’s vision to be the leading partner in reimagining local healthcare and well-being for all,” said Mr. Wentworth. “I’ve spent my career working to improve the health of the patients we’ve served. I believe WBA is well-positioned to deliver more personalized, coordinated care, and achieve better outcomes at a lower cost. I fully recognize the challenges that health plans, healthcare providers, pharmacies, and retailers are confronting today and am confident that WBA, and its customer- and patient-focused teams, can seize the opportunities of a dynamic marketplace and be the partner of choice.”
