Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz But the fact they will do so via writing &quot;Race Together&quot; on customers&#39; coffee cups and starting a discussion about race has left some people cold. After the new campaign was launched by CEO Howard Schultz - who has previously led drives to increase gun control and fuel job creation - the company&#39;s vice president of communications, Corey duBrowa, quit Twitter after being inundated with negative messages. After reinstating his account, he wrote that he &quot;felt personally attacked in a cascade of negativity.
