PepsiCo Foodservice President Speaks to CIA Graduates
Anne Fink inspires bachelor's degree recipients
Anne Fink, president of global foodservice for PepsiCo, delivered the commencement address to bachelor's degree recipients at the New York campus of The Culinary Institute of America on July 25. Ms. Fink oversees sales, marketing, strategy, and operations for all channels of foodservice—which includes restaurants, workplace, healthcare, lodging, travel and leisure, colleges and universities, schools, foodservice retail, and convenience—both in North America and all over the world. All of this encompasses a portfolio of beverage, snack, and food brands including Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew, Lipton Iced Tea, Aquafina, Lay's, Doritos, Gatorade, Quaker, Tropicana, and many more.
"While you may be leaving school today for the last time, that does not mean your education is complete," Ms. Fink told the 109 newest CIA graduates. "You will meet many, many people over the course of your careers, and they will all have something to teach you. Soak up everything you can, from everyone you can—bosses, colleagues, professors, business partners, customers, and clients."
