Mary Langowski: EVP and President of United States Healthcare :
Mary Langowski, appointed EVP and President of U.S. Healthcare, offers extensive experience in pharmacy retail and retail healthcare services to the position. Her responsibilities include increasing Walgreens’ footprint in healthcare and providing solutions to industry stakeholders including as payers, health systems, pharmacy benefit managers, and biopharmaceutical producers.
Langowski formerly served as CEO of Solera Health and as EVP and Chief Strategy and Corporate Development Officer at CVS Health. She was instrumental in CVS Health’s transition to a healthcare corporation, most notably leading the acquisition of Aetna.
John Driscoll, the current EVP and President of U.S. Healthcare, will work closely with Wentworth, Langowski, and the U.S. Healthcare company in a senior advisory role.
