Jeff Leger resigns at Shoppers Drug Mart
Jeff Leger announced on Friday that he is stepping down as president of Shoppers Drug Mart after almost 17 years at the company.
Leger said in a post on LinkedIn that he will be starting on as CEO in July at a company he will name in the coming weeks.
He thanked the “incredible people” at Shoppers and parent company Loblaws and praised the work of everyone from associate owners to front-store managers.
“We have been able to lead the world in terms of innovation in retail, beauty, and pharmacist delivered care,” Leger said. “All achieved because of you and our incredible central office team.”
Leger was named president of Shoppers in 2018 after spending just more than two years as the chain’s EVP of pharmacy and health care.
He has been a member of the board of directors at Maple, a 24-hour virtual-care platform, since 2020.
