Before his North ********* CEO role, Conway served as group president of international and channel development and president of Starbucks Canada. His appointment was part of a reorganization effort by former CEO Laxman Narasimhan, Bloomberg noted in March.

Rather than appointing a new CEO for North America, Starbucks announced that Sara Trilling, the company’s North ********* president, will oversee retail operations across the region. Trilling has been with Starbucks for 22 years and previously managed 3,500 stores as senior vice president of its north division.
