About Me

Howard Schultz took charge of Starbucks in the 1980s and turned a regional coffee company into one of the world's top brands. Schultz expanded Starbucks from 11 stores to more than 35,000 worldwide and made it a social hub for many Americans. He served three stints as CEO, most recently stepping down in early 2023. Schultz explored a 2020 presidential bid, but said in September 2019 that he would not run because it would risk the re-election of Donald Trump. His Schultz Family Foundation invests in training and hiring veterans and youths, helping veterans ensure a smooth transition back into civilian life. Through his VC firm Maveron Capital, Schultz invests in other consumer businesses such as Groupon, Madison Reed, Allbirds and Lucy.
