Directors and officers of Starbucks Corporation
The Founder & Chairman Emeritus of Starbucks Corporation currently on record is Howard D. Schultz; 20 officers are currently on record for Starbucks Corporation, filed with Washington Secretary of State. Management authority at Starbucks Corporation sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control. The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.

Data availability
Those 53 subsidiaries span United States, Canada, Philippines, Lebanon, Colombia, Mexico, and 7 more jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. Four of the 53 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
