abstract:Donald Schultz(DOB 1977) is a South African entertainer who travels the world getting samples from dangerous species. Schultz is on a show on Animal Planet called Wild Recon.
At Starbucks Mr Schultz replaced Jim Donald, and promptly changed the firm's strategy but the rapid expansion that got Starbucks into trouble was Mr Schultz's strategy as much as Mr Donald's, says Jeff Sonnenfeld of the Yale School of Management.
Schultz hired Donald to run Starbucks' North American operations in 2002, with the understanding that the job would be a tryout for the chief executive position.
