where he led the global legal function, government affairs and the

leading consumer brands, eight years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney,
and as an adjunct professor at Northwestern University School of

McKesson, a leader in healthcare services.
“Through my immersion at Starbucks, I quickly learned we have a
highly skilled team of partners (employees) that make up our Law
and Corporate Affairs team,” said Laxman Narasimhan, chief
executive officer. “We are excited to welcome Brad who brings a
tenure of experience leading companies through some of their most
challenging issues across international markets and working closely
with regulators around the world. His expertise in both the public
and private sectors will strengthen our decision making, protect
and advance the business and brand of Starbucks in the markets in
which we operate, and further develop our legal and compliance
talent. I want to thank Zabrina Jenkins, our acting general
counsel, for her exceptional leadership and invaluable
contributions during her time in the role.”
“To serve the partners of Starbucks, one of the world’s most
admired brands, is a true honor,” said Brad Lerman. “The strength
of Starbucks’ leadership team and board of directors, coupled with
the talented Starbucks Law and Corporate Affairs team, is what
excites me most as we look to advance a bold mission and vision for
the future of Starbucks.”
Following a six-month immersion, Narasimhan officially took the
reins as ceo on March 20, 2023, making today’s announcement one of
his first following a declaration of Starbucks as a company with
limitless possibilities at this year’s Annual Meeting of
