Musab Balbale has exited CVS Health.

In a LinkedIn post, Balbale wrote: “After four energizing years, it is bittersweet to share that I will be leaving CVS. I’m incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished together. From sharpening our merchandising fundamentals to deploying new AI tools that improve how we work, we drove meaningful customer growth in an intensely competitive retail landscape. What I cherish most are the people — talented teammates who challenged and laughed with one another, moved with urgency and stayed relentlessly focused on serving customers.”

We appreciate his leadership and wish him well in his next role.
