Drugstore operator Walgreen Co. said Thursday it has hired former Schering-Plough executive Jeffrey Berkowitz to take charge of its pharmacy contracting strategy.
The company said Berkowitz will be senior vice president of pharmaceutical development and market access. His responsibilities will include forming strategic relationships with other companies, and overseeing growth initiatives with drugmakers.
Berkowitz held a series of marketing and sales-related positions with Schering-Plough Corp. from 2002 until 2009, when the company was acquired by Merck & Co. He later became Merck's senior vice president of global market access.
He will report to Kermit R. Crawford, president of Walgreens pharmacy services division.
