Meet Tanya

Tanya Thompson
Founder, Global Heart Awakening

Tanya Thompson brings a rare blend of visionary leadership, heart-centered service, and global awareness to everything she does.

In the early days of Starbucks' explosive growth, Tanya worked directly with Howard Schultz, helping shape key strategies that propelled the brand into an international household name. From there, she turned her focus toward growing a thriving wellness practice, which has since expanded to multiple locations and where she continues to serve in a senior leadership role.”

After two decades of executive work and grassroots service, Tanya embarked on a journey of global exploration. Her travels across cultures deepened her belief that the human spirit—when nurtured and awakened—can rise above division, imbalance, and fear. Global Heart Awakening is the result of that journey.

Today, Tanya is building a new legacy: one of connection, spiritual vitality, and collective healing. Known for her kindness, joy, and magnetic presence, she moves seamlessly between the worlds of philanthropy, entrepreneurship, and spiritual community.

Tanya's mission is to bring together people from all walks of life—billionaires and the underserved alike—to co-create a more balanced, compassionate world.
