Lack of Diversity in C-Suite Highlighted by Walgreens CEO Resignation

Rosalind Brewer, the CEO of Walgreens Boots Alliance, has resigned, leaving no Black women CEOs in the S&P 500. Brewer was the only Black female CEO currently leading an S&P 500 company, highlighting the slow progress of diversity at the top of major corporations. The lack of representation is evident, with white men dominating executive roles, while women, especially women of color, are significantly underrepresented. Brewer's departure comes as Walgreens faces challenges in transitioning from its pharmacy and retail business to healthcare services. She will be replaced by board member Ginger Graham as interim CEO.
