FIND YOUR JOY

Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson took the reins of the global coffee giant less than a year ago, after spending eight years on the company’s board. In addition to the pressures of following a legendary founder, Howard Schultz (who remains the company’s executive chairman), Johnson is responsible for keeping Starbucks agile as it seeks to make its 27,000 cafés more experiential and digital. He has a unique perspective on the company’s mission to “inspire and nurture the human spirit.”
