Leadership History
4 leaders · Full leadership timeline
PepsiCo is often framed through the cola wars, but the Frito-Lay system is the real structural engine. The 1965 merger created a company that could negotiate with retailers using both snacks and beverages, turning distribution breadth into an economic moat.
PepsiCo makes money from convenient foods, beverages, concentrates, foodservice, licensing, and international packaged-food operations. The company sells finished products through company-owned and third-party distribution, and it benefits from direct-store-delivery strength in snacks and beverages.
