Hello. As some of you may be aware, there are a small number of factual inaccuracies that should be reviewed and corrected in this article. In the interest of transparency I am declaring that I work for Alliance Boots. I hope to work with external editors to ensure that this Wikipedia article is accurate. Please contact me on my Talk Page if you have any questions. Many thanks.
Introductory Paragraph
Several details in the article introductory paragraph are incorrect. Here are the changes with relevant references for verification:
In the first sentence, please replace “Italian” with “Monegasque” (Ornella Barra’s nationality changed from Italian to Monegasque in 2012) (Reference: http://www.nicematin.com/monaco/quelle-place-pour-les-femmes-au-pouvoir-a-monaco.1648182.html)
In the sentence beginning “A board member….,” please replace “Chief Executive, Pharmaceutical Wholesale Division of Alliance Healthcare.” with “Chief Executive of Wholesale and Brands of Alliance Boots.” (Reference: http://www.fortunechina.com/career/c/2014-02/14/content_193558.htm)
In the final sentence, please replace “25 years” with “30 years.” (Reference: http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/business/business_interviews/article1164713.ece)
This section of the article would benefit from the inclusion of an additional important piece of information about Ornella’s role that is currently not mentioned. I've written content which I think could be included within the current introductory paragraph alongside relevant reference for verification. Could someone please review this point and let me know their feedback. Thank you.
After sentence that ends “...division’s key functions” please insert following sentence: “In addition to overseeing the Pharmaceutical Wholesale Division, Ornella is responsible for international retail (outside of UK and Republic of Ireland).” (Reference: http://www.ifpw.com/barra.htm)

Replace second sentence beginning “Alliance Boots was a private company…” with “Alliance Boots is a private company – it was bought by AB Acquisitions Limited (Stefano Pessina and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts) in July 2007.”
In the sentence “Alliance Boots is present in more than 25 countries…have a pharmacy,” please change the following:
- Replace “with over 116,000* employees” with “with over 108,000* employees” (Reference: http://www.corporateregister.com/reviews/item/?n=155)
