Dutch Bros announced President Christine Barone will take over as CEO starting next year. Barone joined Dutch Bros earlier this year from True Food Kitchen, where she was CEO for six years, and worked as an SVP at Starbucks prior to that. Ricci took over as president and CEO in January 2019, becoming the first person without the Boersma name to run the company.

Barone will take over as CEO Jan. 1, and the remainder of 2023 will serve as a transitional period for both leaders.
