With an extremely impressive background, Paula Boggs, 52, joined Starbucks, Seattle, in 2002 as executive vice president, general counsel, and secretary. She's known for her love of and talent in music:
"If I were not in my current job, I would most likely be working in the nonprofit sector or in the music business."
Last year President Obama appointed her to a community organizing group, the White House Council for Community Solutions.
Recently and even though she would be considered part of the 1%, it has been announced that she will be retiring in April from Starbucks to work on Obama's re-election campaign. She expressed beautifully her gratefulness to Starbucks and anticipation for the future:
"I am honored and humbled to have led a world class legal department that has also set the bar for diversity in the legal profession and in providing legal services to the poor. It has also been my privilege to be part of this incredible phenomenon called Starbucks for the past decade. I have never experienced an organization with the heart, determination, and imagination of Starbucks. I will deeply miss my fellow partners and the many friends I have made here as I turn to this very exciting and important experience awaiting me next spring. I began my career in public service and in support of a President. I could not be more grateful or inspired to once again have that full-time opportunity."
Best wishes, Paula.
Starbucks, Let's Merry for fine deals.
