Join the Sanger Leadership Center for the next Leadership Dialogues event, featuring Michigan Ross alumnus Ram Krishnan (MBA ’06), CEO of PepsiCo North America, in conversation with Jeffrey Sanchez-Burks, Michigan Ross professor and author of Human Mode: Unlock Your Unique Edge and Transform Your World of Work.

In this fireside chat, our speakers will explore the session topic, “Inside PepsiCo: Navigating leadership through paradox.” They’ll discuss how leaders can turn seemingly contradictory ideas into an advantage—from protecting an organization’s heritage while reinventing for tomorrow to remaining humble while leading boldly.

Drawing on Krishnan’s experience leading PepsiCo’s Foods and Beverages portfolio across the U.S. and Canada, the conversation will explore how leaders navigate transformation, growth, and changing consumer needs. Sanchez-Burks will connect Krishnan’s experiences to his research on the distinctly human capabilities that are increasingly essential as disruptive change reshapes the workplace.

Register today for actionable, research-backed insights on navigating the tensions that define modern leadership.
