Walgreens Boots Alliance Elects Robert L Huffines to Board of Directors

Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) announced the election of Robert L. Huffines to the company’s board of directors. He joins the board after the company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders as an independent director and will serve on the board’s Finance and Technology Committee.
 
Currently Huffines serves as global chairman of investment banking at J.P. Morgan Chase. Huffines has served at J.P. Morgan Chace for over 30 years, guiding the company on strategy, mergers and acquisitions. He expects to retire from J.P. Morgan Chase early this year assuming his role at Walgreens Boots Alliance.
