Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol’s First-Year Report Card: Progress Made, Wall Street Skeptical
One year after taking the helm, Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol is showing signs of steering the coffee giant towards a turnaround, though the journey is far from over. Niccol, who joined Starbucks on September 9, 2024, inherited a company grappling with declining sales, customer frustration over app issues and wait times, and understaffed stores.
His ambitious ‘Back to Starbucks’ campaign, launched in September 2024, aimed to revitalize the brand from barista dress codes to mobile ordering systems. A Starbucks spokesperson indicates that these efforts are yielding positive results for both customers and employees. However, Wall Street analysts remain unconvinced, casting a shadow of skepticism on the company’s recovery trajectory as Niccol concludes his inaugural year.
