Jim Donald Named Executive-in-Residence at UW Bothell
Former Starbucks CEO Jim Donald has been named Executive-in-Residence for the Business Program at the UW Bothell.
In this position, Donald will provide valuable insight and mentoring to current undergraduate and graduate students and faculty. He will also support the program through lectureship on topics as broad as leadership and business strategy to the all-important “What They Don’t Teach You in Business School.”
Says Steve Holland, Director of the Business Program, “We are very pleased to have Jim Donald join our team. The wealth of knowledge and real-world experience he brings from his work with Starbucks and super marketing giants Pathmark, Safeway, Wal-mart and Albertsons will greatly benefit our students and provide them with a unique perspective on business and how they can directly apply their classroom experience to career development and growth.”
Prior to his work at Starbucks, Donald served as Chairman, President and CEO of Pathmark and President and Manager of Safeway’s 130-store Eastern division.
