Helena Foulkes

Joe Pugliese
  • Title
    President of CVS/pharmacy, EVP of CVS Health
  • Affiliation
    CVS Health
  • Age
    52

CVS/pharmacy president Foulkes led CVS Health’s retail business to new revenue heights—up 6.2%, to $72 billion in 2015—by gaining market share in total U.S. prescriptions filled. That helps make up for the loss of business from its 2014 decision to stop selling tobacco, as does the 2015 purchase of Target’s pharmacies. Foulkes is also hoping to lift sales of general merchandise with initiatives like CVS’s new mobile payment app and upgraded beauty sections, scheduled to be in 4,000 CVS/pharmacy stores by the end of the year.
