PART 1 – OFFICIAL INFORMATION
On December 17, 2025, Procurement Magazine reported that PepsiCo had announced adjustments to its senior leadership structure across global commercial and operations functions, with the aim of better supporting its growth strategy and improving execution effectiveness across regions. According to the article, this move is part of PepsiCo’s broader effort to increase alignment between strategic direction and actual operational execution on a global scale.
The source stated that PepsiCo is reorganizing leadership roles to reduce organizational fragmentation, particularly in areas related to supply chain, distribution, and commercial operations, as global consumer markets continue to experience volatility. Procurement Magazine emphasized that these changes are not merely personnel-related, but are directly linked to how PepsiCo structures and coordinates its global operations.
According to the information disclosed, the primary objective of this leadership adjustment is to improve decision-making speed, enhance coordination across regions, and strengthen the execution of the company’s growth strategy. PepsiCo believes that adjusting the leadership structure is necessary to ensure that strategic priorities are implemented more consistently from the global level down to regional and local levels.
Procurement Magazine also noted that this restructuring is taking place at a time when many large FMCG corporations are reassessing their organizational models, as cost pressures, supply chain challenges, and shifting consumer behavior become increasingly pronounced. In such an environment, companies are forced to adjust their leadership structures to ensure that operations do not fall out of sync with strategy.
PepsiCo did not disclose full details regarding all positions or the specific scope of impact of this leadership adjustment in the announcement cited by Procurement Magazine. However, the article confirmed that the focus of the change lies in improving coordination and global operational execution, rather than individual leadership changes at the executive level.
According to Procurement Magazine, PepsiCo’s move demonstrates that leadership restructuring is being used as an operational lever, enabling the organization to adapt more effectively to a complex and volatile business environment, rather than being viewed solely as a traditional human resources management activity.
