About

As CEO of PepsiCo North America, I have the privilege of leading a dynamic team that makes, moves, and markets a portfolio of iconic brands including Pepsi, Gatorade, Mountain Dew, Lay's, Doritos, and Cheetos. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to develop and execute long-term growth strategies while managing large-scale P&L responsibilities and driving growth initiatives in both international and U.S. markets. I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with talented teams across strategy, marketing, product development, sales, supply chain optimization, and e-commerce – experiences that have shaped my current approach as CEO. I’m passionate about harnessing data-driven insights alongside pragmatic operations to transform business models and create sustainable growth. I believe success is best achieved when business excellence meets genuine human connection.
