CEO- Howard Schultz

Entrepreneur Howard Schultz joined the company in 1982 as Director of Retail Operations and Marketing, and after a trip to Milan, Italy advised that the company should sell coffee and espresso drinks as well as beans. The owners rejected this idea, believing that getting into the beverage business would distract the company from its primary focus. To them, coffee was something to be prepared in the home, but they did give away free samples of pre-made drinks. Certain that there was money to be made selling pre-made drinks, Schultz started the Il Giornale coffee bar chain in April 1986

Cont..
In 1998 Howard Schultz had ample reason to be proud of what

Starbucks had accomplished during his past 11 years as the

company's CEO. The company had enjoyed phenomenal growth and become one of the great retailing stories of recent history by making exceptional coffee drinks and selling dark-roasted coffee beans and coffee-making equipment that would allow customers to

brew an exceptional cup of coffee at home. Today have created a

unique brand image.

Vision Statement

two cornerstones: Our coffee and our people.

We will cultivate the growth of our partners with the same passion and care that we dedicate to the growth of our coffee.
