PepsiCo Leadership Shakeup Aims to Accelerate Growth Amid Market Underperformance
PepsiCo shares hover NEAR $150, down 0.19%, as the beverage giant announces sweeping leadership changes. Steven Williams transitions to a global commercial role, while Ram Krishnan takes the helm of North American operations effective December 2025. The restructuring aligns with PepsiCo’s 2030 growth strategy but fails to impress investors—the stock continues to lag the S&P 500 across multiple time frames.
The reorganization centralizes global selling strategies, with Williams tasked with unifying commercial operations and expanding the away-from-home business segment. Market reaction remains muted, suggesting skepticism about near-term execution risks.
