Howard Schultz has a bucket list for his remaining six months as chief executive of Starbucks before exiting for the third and—he has pledged—last time.
Mr. Schultz would like to ensure that the strategic revamp plan he and other executives developed is on track, he said in an interview, and he “desperately” wants to get back to China, the company’s biggest international market, where Starbucks has struggled with a drop in sales given Covid-19 restrictions.
