Starbucks

While at WD Partners, I was the account director for the Starbucks account. I managed a multidisciplinary team of over 65 domestic and India-based designers, architects, and engineers to deliver comprehensive, top-quality design, architecture, and engineering solutions for the Starbucks account. I also led all aspects of the account, from supervising design operations and spearheading top-line growth strategy to driving business development, overseeing program management, nurturing client relations, managing resources, and allocating budgets. Completed 220+ projects yearly, with as many as 300 projects in multiple stages of development at any one time under stringent deadlines and requirements from the key client. Project types included ground-ups, new builds, renovations, and conversions.
