Kevin Johnson, a prominent figure in the corporate world, served as the CEO of Starbucks, a renowned global coffeehouse chain. With a remarkable track record in the technology industry, Johnson brought a fresh perspective and innovative strategies to the table during his tenure at Starbucks. During his tenure, he focused on expanding the company's digital presence, prioritizing customer experience, and fostering sustainable practices.

Assuming the position of Starbucks CEO in April 2017, Johnson spearheaded the company's growth and transformation efforts.

In June 2021, Johnson transitioned from the role of CEO to become the Executive Chairman of Starbucks, passing the torch to a new generation of leaders. His legacy as a visionary executive, dedicated to blending technology, innovation, and social impact, continues to shape the trajectory of Starbucks and inspire the wider business community.
