Starbucks to add Microsoft's Satya Nadella to its board
- 7 years ago
Satya Nadella is set to join the board of Starbucks. The Microsoft CEO was announced as one of a trio of nominees who, if approved by shareholders, will increase the size of the coffee brand’s board to 14 people. Nadella, according to Starbucks, will bring "extensive experience and an understanding of how technology will be used and experienced around the world." The company has become increasingly tech-focused over the last two years. In 2015, the company pegged its growth to technology investment rather than ads.
