Walgreens digital exec heading to Lululemon Athletica

New York -- A former Walgreens executive is heading to Lululemon Athletica.

Lululemon has named Miguel Almeida as executive VP-digital.

Most recently, he was the group VP, digital commerce and mobile solutions for Walgreens, where he was responsible for omnichannel initiatives, mobile solutions, and online-to-consumer commerce across a variety of digital brands.



“Digital is the global store that has no walls – one where we can offer our entire product assortment, speak in all languages and allow our stories and ambassadors to come to life in ways that we haven’t yet imagined,” said Laurent Potdevin, CEO. “With his track record of accelerating digital transformations, Miguel is well-positioned to champion Lululemon’s digital world and lead our strong digital team in creating a seamless experience for our guests across all touch-points – whether it’s in store, on the web, or through a mobile device.”



Prior to joining Walgreens, Miguel held senior roles in the online groups of Apple and Dell where he drove global online expansion for both companies. Previously, he was a strategy consultant with The Boston Consulting Group.
