US President Joe Biden speaks about his Investing in America agenda at the Wilmington Convention Center in Wilmington, North Carolina, on May 2, 2024. President Joe Biden is set to meet Tuesday afternoon with a slate of executives from a variety of industries, some of which have been the targets of his regulatory agenda. The guest list includes United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby, Citi CEO Jane Fraser, Evercore founder and senior chairman Roger Altman, Marriott International CEO Anthony Capuano, Flex CEO Revathi Advaithi, Bechtel Group CEO Brendan Bechtel, former Xerox CEO Ursula Burns and Corning CEO Wendell Weeks, according to a White House official. Biden is planning to discuss his "strategy of investing in America and rebuilding international alliances," the official said in a statement. And as part of a broader siege against what Biden calls "junk fees," the White House has issued rules prohibiting certain fees from airlines and credit card companies.

☆ Walgreens CEO Roz Brewer wants to make getting healthcare as easy as going to your neighborhood pharmacy
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-28 | by ( Marguerite Ward | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Brewer, 60, is chasing a new first of sorts in her role at Walgreens: turning the $33 billion pharmacy chain into a destination healthcare company. After stepping into power at America's second-largest pharmacy during the deadliest disease event in US history, Brewer has been pursuing a wide-ranging strategy to remake the company. The company's larger rival, CVS Health, is following a similar strategy of making healthcare a bigger part of its business. "Dispensing of pharmaceuticals is not going to be our long-term growth avenue," Brewer said at a 2022 healthcare-industry conference, according to FierceHealthcare. But healthcare is complex and even the company's long-standing pharmacy business comes with challenges.

But former Xerox CEO Ursula Burns — who became the first Black female CEO of a Fortune 500 company in 2009 — says she never bought into that narrative. "I would not be able to be CEO of the company unless I outsourced the caring for my kids," Burns, 63, tells CNBC Make It. Burns led Xerox from 2009 to 2016, when the company split into two corporate entities: Xerox and Conduent. In 2009, Burns was also appointed by President Barack Obama to help lead the White House National STEM program, which encourages students to pursue STEM-related careers.
