Lately, candidates have asked me more often what I like about PepsiCo. This video is a great summary of why I spent 8 out of 9 years of my career in HR at PepsiCo. #PepsiCoProud #PepsiCoPeople #PepsiCoCareer

Flashback to December 2023: Just stumbled upon this email from PepsiCo regarding my application for the Assistant Manager - Agro position. Reflecting on the journey and grateful for the experience. Sharing the screenshot for those curious about the process. Onward and upward! Every organization should follow suit and provide candidates with constructive feedback. It not only enhances transparency but also contributes to a more supportive and inclusive hiring process. Let's advocate for feedback-driven interactions in every stage of the job application journey! 💡 #FeedbackMatters #CandidateExperience 💼 #Throwback #CareerMoments #PepsiCoJourney 🚀

I completed an incredible 14 years at PepsiCo today. These years went by in a breeze, and I'm super proud of what I have achieved. I am sharing a few lessons I learned in the last 20 years of my career journey. > Focus and consistency can make your idea come alive. > Stay focused and prioritize what's important and what's not. > You will not have all the answers and solutions to all the problems but you will find the right people who can give you the solutions or guide you so don't hesitate to ask for help. > Don't waste too much time on what others are doing rather build something which reflects your values and has your essence because no one can take that away from any founder. > When things go wrong or go slow, stay calm. Know that it's happening for a reason and you can only take the right decision and turn things around when you are in a calm state of mind. > Stay true to your purpose, Keep doing your work with 100% honesty and focus and no one can stop you from making a positive dent in the universe. > Celebrate small victories and aim for bigger ones. > Don't react but reflect.

As I conclude my rewarding two-year assignment at PepsiCo, I reflect on the remarkable journey that commenced amid the challenges of the COVID pandemic and a move to the Netherlands with my family. Despite uncertainties, our determination led to a successful settlement, laying the foundation for future endeavours. Following a brief career break, I realized a long-awaited dream of establishing my own company, InFinHorizons, in October 2021. Subsequently, RGP presented an engaging opportunity with PepsiCo to support the Tropicana Brands Group (TBG), a joint venture with PIA investments in the juice business. Little did I know that this engagement would extend to two years, making me an integral part of a dedicated and special team that consistently delivered golden standards. My sincere thanks to the PepsiCo Europe Central Finance Reporting team, project team and Europe TBG team for providing a rich and rewarding experience. Congratulations to everyone involved in establishing TBG and efforts to bring it to independence. I am delighted to share that my journey continues with TBG in January 2024. I want to highlight key attributes that contributed to my journey’s success, both personally and professionally—diversity, adaptability to change, nurturing strong relationships, and dynamic collaborative teamwork. Diversity: Having lived in diverse countries and collaborated with colleagues worldwide, fostering an understanding of various cultures, languages, foods, and lifestyles. Technological advancements in collaborative tools and social networking have facilitated continued virtual interactions, further enhancing this experience. Remember the person on the other side is also a person. Building Strong Relationships: Start by identifying your needs and the types of relationships to build. Authenticity is essential; build trust through genuineness and reliability, consistently following through on commitments. Be respectful, open-minded and willing to learn from others, considering new ideas and perspectives. Embracing Change: Recognize change as essential for growth, adapt, and actively drive change for success. Teamwork: Success is achieved through clear common goals and collaborative efforts, with team members trusting each other for collective accomplishments. Don't forget to celebrate successes and learn from mistakes.

Job rejections don’t feel as personal when your career progresses. At the beginning of your career every: - “No” - “We’re going in a different direction” - “We decided not to move forward with your application” Feels personal. As you climb the ladder, the competition gets better and better. If I’m hiring a Chief Commercial Officer for a snack brand, I would poach: - SVP of Sales at Kraft Heinz - VP of Sales at Mars - Chief Commercial Officer at poppi Imagine how competitive that interview process is. You won’t win them all. When you’re being considered amongst the top names in your industry… You’ll be grateful just for the opportunity.

Today I am Celebrating 18 Years at PepsiCo! 🎉 When I first joined PepsiCo in Chicago, I told myself that with a 1-hour commute, I'd stay for 2 years and then move on. What happened next? Well, I moved on with PepsiCo… to much further commuting distances – to London, then Hamburg, and finally, Switzerland. Each move presented very unique challenges and enriching experiences. (I even considered writing a book about being an expat at one point). My Key Highlights in 18 years at PepsiCo: ✔ Never be afraid to ask: I was lucky enough to ask the right person at the right time about job openings in Europe. They needed a packaging engineer who spoke Russian, and voilà! ✔ Be flexible: If you are open to relocation, opportunities within PepsiCo might be unlimited. ✔ Stay positive: Early in my career, the company didn't support schooling for children, but I saw it as a chance for my kids to learn other languages. Now they speak five! ✔ Manage expectations: Systems in a new country may differ more than you expect, therefore relocating within the same company can be more complex than joining a new one. ✔ Moving functions: This will set your career back since you will have to prove again what you can bring to the company. Be patient and ready for that. Overall, this will help you tremendously to manage very complex projects across the organization. It's been an incredible journey, filled with growth, countless memories, and many long-lasting friendships. Here's to many more years of growing with PepsiCo! 🚀✨ #Pepsico #career #growth #R&D #procurement

Yesterday was my 2nd anniversary in AB InBev! Cheers to a future with more cheers 🍻🍻🍻 Super grateful to my former director (former line manager at some point) Herman Franken (Dr.) for the push! I also got my first ever promotion in my career last month which was quite timely (just a month before my work anniversary). I’ve heard from different people how stagnant they’ve been on their roles at work, here’s how I avoided such: 1. Try to find better ways to work eg arrange or simplify your work files. 2. Get involved in work activities where you can learn new things and acquire new skills eg engaging in new projects. 3. Help your colleagues out with the little you can when they are overwhelmed or when they come to you knowing you are a SME (subject matter expert), truth is someday you might be in their shoes and might need some assistance. After all we share the same organizational goal. Remember, together we achieve more! 4. Take courses to get better with a skill or improve your knowledge and practice it eg managing a team or financial accounting. Trust me no knowledge is a waste. 5. Embrace new tasks outside your scope of work, you learn from it and it shows your line manager and colleagues that you have a growth mindset and you are ready for the next level. 6. Ask for help where necessary, it’s important so you don’t wear yourself out. Asking for help is part of growth and not bad. 7. Document your wins whether big or small. They motivate you on days when you are feeling blue and trust me it happens to the best of us. #WomeninTech #WomeninBeer #DatatipsandtrickswithChidubem
