(Reuters) - Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ:WBA) is considering former Cigna (NYSE:CI) executive Tim Wentworth to be its next chief executive, Bloomberg News reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Pharmacy chain operator Walgreens has been searching for a new CEO after it announced the abrupt departure of Rosalind Brewer from the position earlier this month.
