The chief executive officer of Starbucks Corp. is stepping down Monday, after half a decade running the world’s largest coffee chain. Kevin Johnson oversaw a period of growth followed by a volatile couple of years as the Covid-19 pandemic disrupted life around the globe.
Mr. Johnson, whose departure was announced in mid-March, is to be replaced with interim CEO Howard Schultz, who served as chief executive twice already from 1987–2000 and 2008–17.
