Walgreens has tapped Starbucks Operating Chief Rosalind Brewer as its next CEO. Once Brewer steps into the position, she will be the only Black woman leading a Fortune 500 company.
Brewer is also chairwoman of Spelman College’s board of trustees and previously the director at Lockheed Martin and Molson Coors Beverage.
This announcement comes as investors, regulators and activists have been pushing for more diversity in corporate America.
Brewer is slated to take on her new role as the CEO of Walgreens late February.
