Chamber CEO Speaker Series to Feature Albertsons Companies President, Vivek Sankaran by Bre Brush, Boise Metro Chamber
Last year, Albertsons Companies named Vivek Sankaran their newest President and CEO. Vivek most recently served as CEO of PepsiCo Foods North America. Prior to that, he served as the company's president and chief operating officer, a position he was named to in 2016. Over the last 3 years, he has led Frito Lay to industry-leading growth by remaining focused on innovation, technology and execution. Over his ten-year career at PepsiCo, in addition to leading Frito-Lay, Vivek also served as the chief commercial officer for PepsiCo North America, Chief Customer Officer of Frito Lay, and as the Senior Vice President of Strategy for PepsiCo. Vivek has an MBA from the University of Michigan, a master's degree in manufacturing from Georgia Institute of Technology and a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology in Chennai. Albertsons is one of the largest food and drug retailers in the United States, truly a pillar of innovation in our own community and beyond. We are eager to host Sankaran for the Chamber’s very first CEO Speaker Series of 2020 to learn more about him and his vision for Albertsons. Thank you to our presenting sponsor, Bank of America.
