PepsiCo finds new A/NZ IT chief

PepsiCo has appointed Brian Green as its new head of IT for Australia and New Zealand.

Green joins the beverage maker from Allied Pinnacle, a maker of flour, ingredients and bakery products.

He has also previously held a number of roles with McCain Foods including Regional CIO for Europe, Middle East and Africa.

PepsiCo A/NZ CEO Danny Celoni said in a statement that Green would bring a “wealth of experience at delivering agile business technology of high strategic value” to PepsiCo’s A/NZ operations.

The beverage maker’s last permanent IT chief was Ursula Phillips, who spent four-and-a-half years there as chief information officer before leaving in July last year.
