Standley joins the Spotless Brands team as CEO and as a member of the Board of Directors after previously serving as the executive vice president of Walgreens Boots Alliance and president of Walgreens, where he led the $100 billion U.S. retail pharmacy segment. This included all aspects of the Walgreens drugstore and specialty pharmacy businesses.

During Standley’s tenure, Walgreens rapidly expanded its immunization and testing capabilities and launched several initiatives to improve the customer experience.
