Starbucks Corp.’s chief marketing officer for North America is leaving the coffee chain, yet another leadership shakeup as new boss Brian Niccol reshapes the company.

The chain confirmed Kyndra Russell’s departure in response to an inquiry from Bloomberg News. She’s been at Starbucks for almost eight years, according to her LinkedIn profile, and took on her latest role earlier this year.
