As a part of my series about “Lessons from the Leaders of Healthcare” I had the pleasure of interviewing Fauzia Somani. Fauzia is the Vice President of Pharmacy and Initiatives in the Pharmacy and Retail Operations Division of Walgreens. Fauzia began her career at Walgreens in 1995 as a pharmacist.
