A Culture of Innovation with PepsiCo's Mike Del Pozzo

11/8/2025
The CPG Guys are joined in this episode by Mike Del Pozzo, CEO of PepsiCo North America Commercial & Customer at PepsiCo, food & beverage manufacturer of iconic brands like Pepsi, Frito Lay, Mtn Dew, Gatorade, Quaker Oats & Doritos. Find Mike on Linkedin at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-del-pozzo/ Find PepsiCo on Linkedin at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pepsico/ Find PepsiCo online at: https://www.pepsico.com/ Here's what we asked Mike: PepsiCo recently announced *Pepsi Prebiotic Cola* — a major evolution of traditional cola. How do you see functional ingredients like prebiotics shaping the future of the carbonated soft drink category? 2. Gatorade is introducing *Gatorade Lower Sugar*. What role does reduced sugar innovation play in meeting evolving consumer expectations without compromising performance? 3. Starbucks Coffee & Protein is launching nationally through the PepsiCo partnership. How important are joint ventures like this in accelerating PepsiCo’s innovation agenda? 4. Pepsi is moving into premium *12oz glass bottles*. What does this say about the importance of packaging as an innovation driver, especially with younger consumers and how will this help in foodservice? 5. Lay’s is undergoing its biggest brand refresh in 100 years. How do visual identity and packaging innovation play into consumer trust and loyalty? 6. By the end of 2025, Lay’s and Tostitos will have no artificial colors or flavors. How big of a lift is this operationally, and how does PepsiCo define “clean label” innovation? 7. How is PepsiCo using *pdpviz®* (data and insights) to connect innovation with retailer success and shopper behavior? 8. With e-commerce and omnichannel shopping accelerating, how does PepsiCo think about innovating “where” products show up, not just *what* they are? 9. Innovation often comes with risk. How do you personally create a culture within PepsiCo North America where teams feel empowered to test, fail, and scale new ideas? 10. If you fast-forward to 2030, what will PepsiCo North America’s innovation legacy look like under your leadership?
