Kristin Patrick – PepsiCo
Formerly chief marketing officer (CMO) at Playboy Enterprises, Kristin Patrick took up the equivalent role at Pepsi (for the brand, not the company as a whole) at the start of July, and reports to Brad Jakeman, president of the global beverages group.
Simon Lowden, CMO for the Americas region, will remain in his position, and the appointment comes after PepsiCo tinkered with its management structure in 2012, bringing its global groups under the newly created role of president. (Picture Credit: Matt/Flickr)
