PepsiCo Announces Christine Tammara as New Senior Vice President and Controller

PepsiCo's Strategic Leadership Change

PepsiCo, a global leader in food and beverage, has made a significant move in its corporate leadership by appointing Christine Tammara as the Senior Vice President and Controller. Effective May 3, 2025, Tammara will be succeeding Marie Gallagher, who has announced her retirement following a notable career at the company.

Christine Tammara is no stranger to PepsiCo; she first joined the company in 2007 and has since held several key positions within the organization. From June 2023, she has served as Senior Vice President and Controller of PepsiCo Beverages North America, where she has been instrumental in driving the control agenda of the beverage sector. Tammara worked diligently on financial reporting and control execution, partnering with various business segments to provide effective accounting and transformation solutions.

Before her current role, Tammara was Senior Vice President and General Auditor from February 2021 to June 2023, and she has held the role of Vice President and Assistant Controller focused on Technical Accounting and Policy from June 2016 to February 2021. Her extensive experience within PepsiCo's Control functions has equipped her with a deep understanding of the company's financial operations, making her an ideal candidate for the Controller position. She will report directly to Jamie Caulfield, the Chief Financial Officer of PepsiCo.

Looking Ahead to Sustainability and Growth

In alignment with PepsiCo's strategic vision, Tammara's new role is pivotal as the company continues its commitment to becoming the global leader in beverages and convenient foods. Guided by the pep+ initiative (PepsiCo Positive), PepsiCo is focusing on sustainability and implementing growth strategies while operating within planetary boundaries. Christine Tammara's leadership will undoubtedly be crucial in upholding these values and driving the company's future successes.

PepsiCo's diverse product portfolio encompasses over a billion daily consumer interactions across more than 200 countries and territories. With brands that include Lay's, Doritos, Cheetos, Gatorade, and more, the company reported over $91 billion in net revenue in 2023, highlighting its robust market presence.

As PepsiCo prepares for this leadership transition, the focus remains on maintaining its competitive edge while ensuring that its operational strategies support long-term sustainability goals. The company has shown resilience in adapting to changing market conditions, continuously innovating its product offerings, and responding to consumer preferences.

The upcoming retirement of Gallagher signifies a moment for reflection on her contributions to PepsiCo and the opportunities Tammara will have to further enhance the company's financial governance and control mechanisms in her new role. With a solid foundation and a commitment to excellence, Christine Tammara’s appointment is anticipated to lead PepsiCo into exciting new chapters ahead.
