Biography of Mr. Howard Schultz
Mr. Howard Schultz is the Chief Global Strategist and Chairman of Starbucks. In 1982, he joined a coffee bean store called Starbucks in Seattle. After traveling to Europe, Schultz was inspired by espresso bars in Italy and resolved to transform Starbucks into a coffee-bar business. However, his idea was rejected by Starbucks management at the time. Mr. Schultz left and started his own company in 1985. Two years later, the original Starbucks management sold its Starbucks unit to Schultz and he expanded Starbucks' reach across the United States and overseas.
