George Kovoor — Co-Founder

I spent 34 years at PepsiCo and Unilever building, fixing, and scaling businesses across India, China, Southeast Asia, and the United States. As SVP & GM of PepsiCo India Beverages and a member of PepsiCo's Senior Leadership Team, I turned around underperforming markets and built the teams to sustain that growth; many of whom have gone on to senior leadership roles globally. Between 2006–16, I spent a decade in China helping architect 5X growth of PepsiCo's foods business. From New York, I established PepsiCo's international foodservice business vertical and forged partnerships with global customers like Disney, Yum Brands, Marriott Hotels, Dubai Expo, PVR Cinemas & Domino's India. I came back to India in 2022 and led the beverage business to double in 3 years, while dramatically improving profitability and consistently gaining market share. In 2024, my marketing team won a Cannes Gold Lion; the only India FMCG team to achieve this recognition that year. Today, I'm an Independent Director and the founder of Ask GeKo & Co., where I advise CEOs and boards on growth strategy, business transformation, and the practical adoption of AI. A Harvard Business School AMP alumnus and hands-on AI practitioner, I'm not just advising on AI, I build and deploy multi-agent AI systems in my own practice, giving me firsthand insight into both the promise and the practical challenges of adoption. I believe in "We over Me" cultures, in measuring success by legacy, and in leaving every business & engagement stronger than I found it. If you are navigating transformation, exploring AI, or building for the next phase of growth — let's talk.
