Gong cha Strives to Own U.S. Bubble Tea Market

Geoff Henry has been in the beverage business long enough to know what works and what doesn’t.

He has almost 20 years of non-alcoholic beverage expertise, including more than a dozen years at Coca-Cola. There, Henry spent most of his time leading a tea and coffee portfolio that had seven brands, like Honest Tea, Gold Peak Tea, Fuze, and Peace Tea. Some were multi-billion brands, others were under $100 million and still emerging. Then he worked a handful of years at Jamba, helping the chain grow from fewer than 1 percent digital transactions to north of 20 percent. Henry also oversaw the rollout of a new app and POS system and familiarized himself with multi-unit franchising.
