Welcoming Dambisa Moyo and Marissa Mayer to Our Board

Partners, 

This week, we welcomed Dr. Dambisa Moyo and Marissa Mayer to the Starbucks Board of Directors. They bring a global perspective, fresh thinking and deep experience in areas that matter to our future—technology, transformation and innovation. 

Dambisa is a globally recognized economist with more than 30 years of experience in international finance and policy. She’s worked with the World Bank, Goldman Sachs and served on the boards of several major companies. Her insights into global markets and sustainable development will help us grow responsibly and with purpose in every community we serve. 

Marissa is a tech innovator and entrepreneur. She’s the founder and CEO of Sunshine AI, previously led Yahoo! and spent over a decade at Google. She brings a deep understanding of how digital tools can create a more personal connection with customers and better support our partners. 

Dambisa and Marissa are joining us at an important moment in our turnaround. They believe in the power of human connection and in building for the long term. And their insights will be a big asset to our world-class Board as we accelerate our “Back to Starbucks” strategy and shape our future growth. 

Please join me in welcoming Dambisa and Marissa to Starbucks. 

On we go, 
Brian
