Hello. As some of you may be aware, there are a small number of factual inaccuracies that should be reviewed and corrected in this article. In the interest of transparency I am declaring that I work for Alliance Boots. I hope to work with external editors to ensure that this Wikipedia article is accurate. Please contact me on my Talk Page if you have any questions. Many thanks.
Introductory Paragraph
Several details in the article introductory paragraph are incorrect. Here are the changes with relevant references for verification:
In the first sentence, please replace “Italian” with “Monegasque” (Ornella Barra’s nationality changed from Italian to Monegasque in 2012) (Reference: http://www.nicematin.com/monaco/quelle-place-pour-les-femmes-au-pouvoir-a-monaco.1648182.html)
In the sentence beginning “A board member….,” please replace “Chief Executive, Pharmaceutical Wholesale Division of Alliance Healthcare.” with “Chief Executive of Wholesale and Brands of Alliance Boots.” (Reference: http://www.fortunechina.com/career/c/2014-02/14/content_193558.htm)
In the final sentence, please replace “25 years” with “30 years.” (Reference: http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/business/business_interviews/article1164713.ece)
This section of the article would benefit from the inclusion of an additional important piece of information about Ornella’s role that is currently not mentioned. I've written content which I think could be included within the current introductory paragraph alongside relevant reference for verification. Could someone please review this point and let me know their feedback. Thank you.
After sentence that ends “...division’s key functions” please insert following sentence: “In addition to overseeing the Pharmaceutical Wholesale Division, Ornella is responsible for international retail (outside of UK and Republic of Ireland).” (Reference: http://www.ifpw.com/barra.htm)
Side Bar

Replace second sentence beginning “Alliance Boots was a private company…” with “Alliance Boots is a private company – it was bought by AB Acquisitions Limited (Stefano Pessina and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts) in July 2007.”
In the sentence “Alliance Boots is present in more than 25 countries…have a pharmacy,” please change the following:
- Replace “with over 116,000* employees” with “with over 108,000* employees” (Reference: http://www.corporateregister.com/reviews/item/?n=155)
- Replace “more than 3,100* health and beauty retail outlets”with “more than 3,150* health and beauty retail outlets in nine countries of which just over 3,050* have a pharmacy” (Reference: http://www.corporateregister.com/reviews/item/?n=155)

Hello, In the interest of transparency I am declaring that I work for Walgreens Boots Alliance. I would like to share with external editors updated information about Ornella Barra, to ensure that this Wikipedia article is accurate.
Her current role within the Company includes responsibilities that are slightly different to the ones currently listed in the Introductory Paragraph. Also, the source currently referenced for this sentence is “missing or empty”; I am thus proposing an alternative external reference.
Please replace the following sentence: “Within Walgreens Boots Alliance, Barra oversees International Retail, which is part of the Retail Pharmacy International Division, as well as directing the Pharmaceutical Wholesale Division”.

Regarding Generali, given Ornella Barra is no longer a member of the board, I think the sentence still requires updating - if not removed, it could be reviewed as follows: In April 2013, Barra was appointed to the board of directors of Assicurazioni Generali, Italy's largest insurance company.

I didn't receive any feedback on this point. I update the sentence as previously mentioned. Sergio imbonati ( talk) 07:17, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
I would remove the mention of Fortune 2019 ranking (not so recent anymore) Sergio imbonati ( talk) 07:36, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
For a more accurate description of her career, the following sentence would be added "following the merger between Alliance UniChem and Boots plc and the creation of Alliance Boots, in 2012 she became the Company’s Chief Executive, Wholesale and Brands. Alliance Boots merged with Walgreens in 2014, to from Walgreens Boots Alliance, and integrated healthcare, pharmacy and retail leader based in Deerfield, Illinois. Barra is currently the Company’s chief operating officer, international." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sergio imbonati ( talk • contribs) 16:29, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

I would include the mention of Fortune 2015 ranking, when Ornella Barra was 5th in business (see https://fortune.com/most-powerful-women-europe-middle-east-africa/2015/ornella-barra/) Sergio imbonati ( talk) 07:37, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
For full transparency I inform you that I am an advisor of Walgreens Boots Alliance and work directly with Ornella Barra.
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. |
Ornella Barra is now married with Stefano Pessina
It is an old information
it is a more accurate description of Ornella Barra's career path
It is a significant achievement connected to the 2014 appointment as Chairman of the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Wholesalers and to her membership of Generali Board

Hello, having gathered additional information and sources, I am re-requesting the edit suggested. I recall that I am an advisor of Walgreens Boots Alliance and work directly with Ornella Barra, with access to confidential information.
In details:
Ornella Barra is now married with Stefano Pessina. The marriage is dated April 2022 and was kept confidential without public announcement, so very few sources covering this story are available
It is an old information
it is a more accurate description of Ornella Barra's career path
- merger between Alliance UniChem and Boots: article on The Guardian [3] - Appointment as Company’s Chief Executive, Wholesale and Brands: Article on Businesswire.com [4] - Alliance Boots merged with Walgreens in 2014, to from Walgreens Boots Alliance: article on Wall Street Journal [5] - Title of Ornella Barra as Company’s chief operating officer, international (2021): official Walgreens Boots Alliance web site [6]
