Walgreens legal eagle hired by Hertz

Walgreens Boot Alliance will be looking to fill some big shoes, as Thomas Sabatino Jr., executive VP, global chief legal and administrative officer, will be leaving the company to join Hertz Global Holdings effective Feb.9.

Sabatino will join Hertz Global Holdings as senior executive VP, chief administrative officer and general counsel.

Sabatino will remain in his current role with Walgreens Boots Alliance through the end of January to ensure a smooth transition of his current responsibilities.

The company expects to announce his successor at that time. Joining Walgreens as executive VP, general counsel and corporate secretary in 2011, and serving as chief administrative officer since 2014, Sabatino led and oversaw the company’s merger and integration efforts with Alliance Boots.
