PepsiCo launches new podcast Future Back Thinking

American multinational food, snack and beverage corporation PepsiCo is launching a new podcast Future Back Thinking.

Hosted by the company’s first Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer, Dr. Athina Kanioura, the 10-episode podcast taps into “Future Back Thinking,” a game-changing approach that many futurists and leaders have adopted to take their organisations and people into the future.

The process includes considering potential futures for a company by exploring trends and drivers for change that might lead to different future scenarios.

With an extensive background in transforming businesses with an emphasis on data and technology, Athina is responsible for PepsiCo’s end-to-end enterprise transformation.

Critical to achieving this, is enhancing the digital, automation and technology capabilities to position the company for the future.

Athina is a leading future back thinker and brings this unique mindset into the consumer-packaged space. Her eye for the future is behind each conversation with industry pioneer and disruptor guests including:

• Julie Sweet, Chair & Chief Executive Officer, Accenture: Learn about Julie’s approach to leadership, generative AI, and the importance of building a “digital core.”
• Deb Cupp, President, Microsoft Americas: Deb shares insights into what it takes to build a winning culture and what goes into modernising a giant in the tech space.
• Cassie Korzykov, former Chief Decision Scientist, Google: Cassie describes the art of Decision Intelligence and how it’ll effect the future of AI.
• Arvind Krishna, Chief Executive Officer, IBM: In his 33 years at IBM, learn about the future of Quantum Computing and its use cases and what he aspires his legacy to be.
