Hello. As some of you may be aware, there are a small number of factual inaccuracies that should be reviewed and corrected in this article. In the interest of transparency I am declaring that I work for Alliance Boots. I hope to work with external editors to ensure that this Wikipedia article is accurate. Please contact me on my Talk Page if you have any questions. Many thanks.
Introductory Sentence
This sentence contains a factual inaccuracy. Here is the correction with relevant reference for verification:

Side Bar
The article side bar would benefit from the inclusion of an additional important Group in the ‘board member of’ section that is currently not mentioned. Here is the additional piece of information with relevant reference for verification:
Board member of: Please add “Alliance Boots” alongside “Walgreens” (Reference: http://www.standard.co.uk/business/markets/alliance-boots-stefano-pessina-deals-are-still-my-drug-says-the-tycoon-loath-to-hang-up-his-boots-9128017.html)

Please replace second sentence beginning “As of March 2013” with “As of March 2014, he is worth US$10.4 billion, owning about 8% of Walgreens and 18% of Alliance Boots.” (Reference:
http://www.forbes.com/profile/stefano-pessina/)

Hello, In the interest of transparency I am declaring that I work for Walgreens Boots Alliance. I would like to share with external editors information on Stefano Pessina's marital status, to ensure that this Wikipedia article is accurate.
He is in fact divorced and not separated. In the 'Personal Life' section, please replace first sentence "Pessina, though separated for 24 years, is still married to his wife, Barbara" with "He is divorced from his wife Barbara".
GretaBonsi ( talk) 15:17, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
@ Edwardx: There is an official divorce certificate. Being a purely biographical update, I hope it would be sufficient to provide this information in order to make the article more accurate. Thanks for your advice and collaboration GretaBonsi ( talk) 09:18, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
Hello,
consistently with what described and referenced in the 'Personal Life' section, Stefano Pessina's marital status should be changed from 'separate' to 'divorced' in the side-bar.

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hello, in the interest of transparency, I am declaring I work for Walgreens Boots Alliance. I would like to ask for two changes to the article, in the interest of accuracy:
UK Labour Party Controversy - The following sentence: "He currently makes 540 times the median employee for the company. Pharmacists for the company have not received any raises in over four years.[citation needed]" is unsourced and it also doesn’t seem to have any relation with the topic of this section. I believe this sentence should be removed.
Career - The following sentence: "Pessina was chairman of Alliance Boots from 2007 to 2014 and currently serves as Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Pessina is a director of Walgreens Boots Alliance" is incomplete, as he is Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Walgreens Boots Alliance. I think it should therefore be replaced with the following "Pessina was chairman of Alliance Boots from 2007 to 2014 and currently serves as Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Walgreens Boots Alliance, the company created through the combination of Walgreens and Alliance Boots in December 2014" [1] [2]
Can you please take a moment to review? Thanks for your advice. Please contact me on my Talk Page if you have any questions. Thanks GretaBonsi ( talk) 15:46, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I believe the Career section of this article should be updated by removing the words in bracket "(possibly Petrone Group)". This information has been added few months ago but still lacks necessary reference. In the interest of transparency, I declare I work for WBA. I would be thankful if you could review this proposed change. Thank you GretaBonsi ( talk) 17:25, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
I just received a funny email from "Stefano Pessina" promising a donation of 1 million Euro to me (who else?!). New to me was that this email contained a link to this article. In the edit history I saw that someone else was trying to note this fact in the article, what is of course inappropriate. I assume that Mr. Pessina does not have a clou about mails beeing sent in his name. I came here to see if the spammers had tried to place any dangerous links in this page.
