Starbucks’ top leadership is making waves as Brian Niccol, formerly the CEO of Chipotle, is all set to take over as the new CEO of the global coffee house from September. He has replaced the Indian-origin Laxman Narasimhan as the top executive.

However, he and the company he is about to lead have landed in a fresh controversy. According to reports, Niccol, who is based in California, will not relocate to Starbucks’ headquarters in Seattle. Instead, he will travel from the Western American state to Seattle in a corporate jet at least three days a week to adhere to the company’s hybrid work policies. This commute is estimated to be around 1600 km and take around three hours.
