Apparently Starbucks still recognizes Arthur Rubinfeld because Starbucks News from April 2016 highlights Arthur Rubinfeld and his team that is overseeing a 20,000 sq Starbucks Roastery building in New York set to open in 2018. He still with Starbucks: —This project will be led by Arthur Rubinfeld, chief creative officer and president, Starbucks Global Innovation, and Liz Muller, vice president of Starbucks Creative and Global Design. Both executives will work closely with the joint venture of Vornado Realty Trust (NYSE: VNO) and Aurora Capital that is developing 61 Ninth. The development site, formerly Prince Lumber, was acquired by the joint venture in 2015. news.starbucks.com/news/starbucks-new-york-roastery-announcementDid you read my post at all? He has been taken OFF the leadership page (indexed in June 2016 was his last time we can see him on it). Do you understand why that would happen? According to United Capital: Financial Life Management, which Arthur is a member of the Board of Directors, Arthur's bio says he is currently Chief Creative Officer for Starbucks and President, Global Innovation. www.unitedcp.com/our-people/

Several sources still report him as an employee. So you believe outdated sources more than the company itself? Strange. This is not an outdated source. www.unitedcp.com/our-people/

The removal of his name from the official Starbucks leadership website along with recent mentions suggest he is no longer with Starbucks. Here is another recent mention from October, 2016 rutbergco.com/conferences/wireless-influencers-2016/speakers/Arthur Rubinfeld, Former Chief Creative Officer and President, Global Innovation and Starbucks Reserve, Starbucks

I recognize the above and have a copy of where the information came from. That does seem to be the listed RLS team.
Pep
If I post it, I will be struck dead. We just don't know if RLS is a independent entity or they are part of a bigger parent company. I know I am probably stating the obvious. Just trying to be clear on the point that I am making. If there is a bigger parent company it would also be private. A public company would have to disclose.

MNKD is a public company and they do not disclose all there dealings so I'm not sure what you are saying. Are you saying if they had a bigger parent public company that they would have to reveal to the public all there secret dealings? I don't think so.. It's called inside information..

What I mean is that if RLS had a public parent, that parent would have to disclose that it owned RLS. Although I don't understand how a company owned by a public company could be characterized as private -- seems like an oxymoron. The obvious explanation for RLS is that it is a small, independent private company, just as it has been characterized.

If you read Howard Schultz's book, Pour Your Heart Into It, Rubinfeld comes out as a star. He was involved from since the early days of SBUX (acknowledging his recent retirement). Schultz says this: "Choosing the right sites is such a critical part of success for a retailer that it should be done by someone with a passionate commitment to the future of the company. But Arthur didn't want to do just site selection. He convinced me that we needed real estate, design and construction to speak with one voice, under the direction of one person, to avoid the conflicts that sometimes arise between disciplines. He coordinated the departments and built a complete store-development organization that ultimately enabled Starbucks to plan for and open one store every business day. Of the first 1,000 stores we opened, we opted to close only two locations because of site misjudgments. Few other retailers could boast such a record." That is amazing execution. This guy is clearly talented and if it is true that he is leading the team, then you could be looking at the beginning of CannaBUCKS. A guy with that track record would have NO problem attracting large amounts of capital. Look at CA's new rules for recreational use: Re California from SacBee: Q: Can people consume marijuana in public? A: No. Marijuana use is allowed only on private property, not in parks or on sidewalks or anywhere where smoking is banned. People using marijuana in a public place can be subject to a $100 infraction. The fine increases to $250 in no-smoking areas. Also, mere possession is banned in schools or youth centers. But pot users can consume in private clubs or at events that are licensed for on-site marijuana consumption and are not visible by people under 21 or from any public place. Link
The private clubs sounds right up Rubinfeld's alley. The pods offer a perfect unit for retail distribution in terms of being discrete, governing dosage, reaction time and it circumvents the no-smoking issue of health conscious markets such as CA. There is a lot of overlap with SBUX in that instead of selling caffeine, you are selling Tetrahydrocannabinol. You still need atmosphere, snacks and possibly micro-batch production similar to Starbuck's Reserve coffees. Market is already huge just in Rubinfeld's core area of expertise that being WA, OR and now CA. Not to mention CO, AK, DC, MA, ME (possibly), and NV (think Vegas). Potentially very exciting. Thank you to the person who unearthed Rubinfeld's involvement. Good digging.
