CEO of the #2 Coffee Chain in the World (Costa Coffe's Philippe Schaillee)
Description
☕ Bold taste. Bold leadership.
Leading a global coffee powerhouse is no small feat—especially when your brand ranks among the world’s most influential:
🌎 Over 4,100 stores across 37 countries
👥 More than 20,000 employees worldwide
🥤 Thousands of innovative self-serve Costa Express machines
🏆 #2 largest coffeehouse chain globally
🇬🇧 #1 coffee chain in the UK, with over 2,700 outlets and a 26% market share.
🎙️ In my recent conversation with Philippe Schaillee, CEO of Costa Coffee, we explored:
-How a single setback nearly ended his career—and why he now calls it his greatest gift
-The surprising reason not all coffee companies are winning hearts (and what Costa does differently)
-What happens when your boldest ideas come from the last place you expect
If you lead big teams or big brands, this episode is a masterclass in clarity, resilience, and influence.
