PepsiCo has announced a multi-year partnership with Google Cloud to expand its use of AI and strengthen its digital infrastructure across global operations.
The collaboration will see PepsiCo adopt Google Cloud’s Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform as part of a broader push to modernize its IT ecosystem and support a multi-cloud strategy. The company aims to use AI to accelerate decision-making and improve execution across areas such as supply chain management and market operations.
“As market dynamics and customer expectations evolve, PepsiCo is re-examining how we bring products to market and how we make decisions at scale,” said Athina Kanioura, CEO of Latin America Foods and chief strategy and transformation officer at PepsiCo. “Google Cloud’s deep expertise in AI and engineering strengthens our best-in-class supply chain and go-to-market capabilities—giving us unprecedented speed and precision to model scenarios that were previously impossible to run. The result is faster decisions, improved frontline experiences, and a step change in how we design and operate our business.”
Under the partnership, PepsiCo plans to expand its data and analytics capabilities using Google Cloud’s infrastructure, creating an AI-driven platform to support global operations. The company will also apply AI tools to improve decision-making across its value chain, from long-term planning to in-store execution, while embedding AI into workflows to enhance employee productivity.
“PepsiCo has a long history of using data to understand consumer demand,” said Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud. “With Gemini Enterprise, it is putting AI into the hands of its global workforce and empowering them with the tools to build a more resilient supply chain.”
