GSK’s Walmsley gets £2.5m pay rise after strong 2019

There can’t be many people in the UK who enjoyed a £2.5 million pay rise this year – but that’s what GlaxoSmithKline boss Emma Walmsley got after a strong year for sales.

Walmsley is a trailblazer, becoming the first woman to head a big pharma company in 2017 when she took over as CEO from Sir Andrew Witty.
