Background

About Liza Keung

Experience in Sales & Marketing, Planning, Finance, Operations Combining 9+ years of supply chain leadership, 13+ years of finance, and extensive sales and category development experience, I’m well-positioned to drive national and global account activities that support ambitious corporate goals. I began my career in finance at Coopers & Lybrand, later transferring that skill to my role as a Financial Manager and Category Planner for the CPG giant Kraft. In the latter role, I oversaw the Maxwell House, Starbucks, and POST portfolio, and introduced major marketing programs for Costco and BJ’s Warehouse Clubs. I later joined Nintendo, where I led planning, forecasting, and replenishment activities to support key customer account teams—including Walmart, Best Buy, Toys ‘R Us, and Latin America Sales—during a period of historic, explosive growth. This broad experience prepared me for success at Starbucks, where I’ve held a progression of senior roles while driving scalability, delivering operational improvements—with measurable results. Currently, I’m the Director of Supply Chain for Emerging Brands at Starbucks, where I lead a team of 29 planning partners who support the Siren Retail platform, Store Development, and Process & System teams. The scope of my role ranges from strategic plan development to the logistics of day-to-day operations. A common thread throughout my career is efficient management of resources—including staff and capital—to deliver against company goals while minimizing costs. My team is nimble because I invest in the development of my people so they’re ready for the next opportunity or promotion. As a business partner to C-Level management, internal teams, and my customers, I’m committed to building trust. That trust begins with my own team, and I’m committed to fostering a culture of high-performance and adaptability, so we can quickly achieve objectives in new and evolving business environments.
