Karen S. Lynch

Former President/CEO of CVS Health Corporation

Karen Lynch, a superstar CEO championing the biggest of big ideas, is out. As chief of corner drug store and health insurance colossus CVS, Lynch headed the largest Fortune 500 enterprise, measured by sales, of any female CEO, and for years reigned as the most powerful woman in American business. By late 2022, she'd lifted CVS's share price from $70 to roughly $110. A trifecta of problems, some that started before she took the top job, then ended a reign that appeared to start brilliantly, then unraveled fast. She will be replaced by David Joyner, a CVS veteran who's been heading Caremark, the pharmacy benefits business.
