“Al Carey is recognised industry-wide for his command not only of PepsiCo’s businesses and our strong go-to-market capabilities, but for his passionate commitment to our customers and the consumers they serve, and the thousands of associates who bring PepsiCo to them every day,” said PepsiCo chairman and CEO, Steve Reinemund.
During his long spell at Pepsi, Carey has held a broad range of positions at Frito-Lay, including chief operating officer, as well as chief operating officer for PepsiCo beverages and foods, senior vice president of sales and retailer strategies for PepsiCo, and senior vice president of sales for Pepsi-Cola North America.
