The head of Starbucks Corp.’s coffee trading arm, Tim Scharrer, has left the company, at least the third executive to depart in the last month, according to a memo viewed by Bloomberg.

In the interim, Andres Berron has been appointed to lead trading, quality operations, transportation, and Yunnan Support Center teams, the memo said. Scharrer, who left the company on Oct. 14, lead Starbucks Coffee Trading Co.’s operations out of Lausanne, Switzerland, for four years.
