The Monaco-based entrepreneur is overseeing major changes to his global healthcare business, potentially preparing individual divisions for sale.
Stefano Pessina, the Monaco-based pharmaceutical magnate, is implementing a comprehensive restructuring of his global healthcare empire that could pave the way for selling off separate business units, including the Boots chain.
The strategic overhaul represents a significant shift for Pessina, whose business acumen transformed a collection of pharmacy operations into one of the world's largest healthcare and retail networks through years of ambitious acquisitions and expansion.
This latest development suggests the billionaire entrepreneur is pivoting towards a more focused approach, potentially unlocking value by allowing individual components of his business portfolio to operate independently or find new ownership structures that better suit their specific markets and growth trajectories.
