Roger Francis is a transformational leader with more than 25 years of experience leading large, complex organizations across healthcare, retail, optical, and foodservice.
A pharmacist by training and an operator at heart, Roger has held senior executive leadership roles with CVS Health, National Vision, and Sysco, leading businesses and teams at significant scale. Throughout his career, he has built a reputation for transforming performance, developing high-performing teams, and turning strategy into sustainable results.
But Roger believes leadership is about more than delivering the numbers.
His experiences leading organizations through growth, transformation, and challenging turnarounds shaped a fundamental belief: intelligence alone doesn’t create impact.
That belief became the foundation for his book, The Integrated Leader, and his leadership philosophy:
IQ + EQ = Impact
Roger challenges leaders to integrate the strategic and analytical power of IQ with the human capabilities of EQ—self-awareness, trust, empathy, courage, accountability, and connection.
His message is simple: the future of leadership is human.
Today, Roger brings that philosophy to executives, organizations, and emerging leaders through speaking, advisory work, leadership development, and The Leadership Equation, his platform for conversations about what truly separates intelligence from impact.
From the front lines of pharmacy to the executive suite, Roger’s career has reinforced one enduring lesson:
Great strategies may start with intelligence. Great performance happens when people choose to follow.
