Lewis was instrumental in introducing a new concept to Walgreens that would transform the company's distribution centers and employment opportunities. Walgreens' two most recent distribution centers employ an inclusive and integrated workforce composed 40% of persons with disabilities (PWD) who are held to the same work standards and earn the same pay as "typically-abled" fellow workers. As a result of this success of serving both shareholders and the community, all 19 distribution centers now include people with disabilities. The division recently achieved the milestone that people with disabilities make up 10% of its workforce.Lewis began his career at Accenture and finished his consulting career as a partner with Ernst & Young.
