DEERFIELD, Ill. — Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) has bolstered its top management with the appointments of a U.S. Healthcare segment leader, a permanent chief financial officer and a human resources chief.

Mary Langowski was named president of U.S. Healthcare, Manmohan Mahajan was appointed global CFO, and Elizabeth Burger was named chief human resources officer.

The appointments solidify 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 health care,” said chief executive officer Tim Wentworth. “We have a strong team with a track record of operational excellence and an unwavering commitment to the execution of our goals. The spirit of this leadership team is one of collaboration, transparency and working effectively together. We share a sharp focus on the important goals in front of us, unlocking embedded profitability and reshaping our health care strategy to deliver sustainable value for our stakeholders.”

Langowski, a nationally recognized health care leader, brings a successful track record of building and driving commercially successful initiatives, businesses and partnerships that improve patient outcomes, lower costs and unlock profitability within new models of care. Her decades of experience span leading payer organizations, pharmacy, retail health care services and providers as well as senior roles in federal and state government.

She joins WBA after serving as CEO of Solera Health, a leading value-based technology business serving payers and employers, since 2020. She was named CEO after serving as Solera’s independent board director and successfully transformed the company with the launch of new condition product lines, a technology platform and an economic model to support sustained growth. Earlier, Langowski 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 health care company, heading the foundational work for its health care services strategy and key aspects of its acquisition of Aetna.

She will lead WBA’s U.S. Healthcare segment as Walgreens expands its role in health care, 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. Current U.S. Healthcare president John Driscoll will transition to a senior advisory role, working closely with Wentworth and Langowski.

Mahajan has served as interim global CFO since July and played an integral role in leading WBA’s growth and cost discipline efforts aimed at aligning the company’s cost structure with its business performance. This includes a focused approach to increasing cash flow across the company by lowering capital expenditures and keeping WBA on pace toward $1 billion in cost savings this year.

He joined the company in 2016 and previously served as global controller and chief accounting officer. Prior to joining WBA, Mahajan held positions of increasing responsibility with GE Capital.

Burger was chief human resources officer at Flowserve, a provider of flow control products and services, before joining WBA. She earlier held the same role at Hanesbrands Inc.
