Walgreens Boots Alliance top attorney Thomas Sabatino is the latest executive to leave the company.

Sabatino will join Hertz Global Holdings as senior executive vice president, chief administrative officer and general counsel starting Feb. 9. Sabatino had been general counsel for the former Walgreen Co. since 2011 and chief administrative officer since last year. He will remain with the company until the end of January, a month after Walgreen’s acquisition of Alliance Boots closed Dec. 31 and formed holding company Walgreens Boots Alliance.

Walgreen’s CEO Greg Wasson retired after the close of the Alliance Boots acquisition, handing the baton to Stefano Pessina, executive chairman of Alliance Boots, until the company finds a successor. The company’s former chief financial officer, Wade Miquelon, left the company in recent months and sued the company in October, saying he was defamed by comments that suggested he was responsible for a $1 billion forecasting error. Kermit Crawford, Walgreen’s president of pharmacy, health and wellness, also retired at year-end after 31 years with the company.

  1. Walgreen’s used to be pretty good serving customers but in recent years they have failed so many innocent patients. Their GDF has harmed countless people.
    I hope they sink ALL the way to the bottom and CVS too!
    Most all the people I know, wouldn’t spend a penny in those stores ever again.

  2. Loved the rats jumping ship except for a few of these executives put decades of blood sweat and tears into the business only to be forced out in the end by the clowns who have no understanding of the pharmacy business.
