The statement reads:
It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Saad Abdul-Latif, our chief executive officer of PepsiCo Asia, Middle East and Africa (AMEA).
Saad was much more than a business leader. He was a deep personal friend to so many PepsiCo family members in every corner of the globe. The thoughts and prayers of PepsiCo associates are with Saad and his family during this difficult time.
Effective immediately, Umran Beba – in addition to her current responsibilities as SVP and chief human resources officer for PepsiCo AMEA – will serve temporarily as acting sector head for PepsiCo AMEA until a permanent replacement is announced.
PepsiCo AMEA has a strong and deep leadership team in place, and from top to bottom the team there sets the standard for management, growth, execution and teamwork. I’m extremely grateful to every member of our AMEA family for their hard work and dedication.
