(PEP: Quote) said Tuesday that Hugh Johnston will succeed Richard Goodman as the company\'s chief financial officer by the end of March 2010.<br /><br />PepsiCo, which is currently integrating its two largest bottlers into its operations, said that Goodman will serve as the company\'s executive vice president for business information systems, global procurement, global operations, and post-merger integration.<br /><br />Johnston, who currently serves as executive vice president of PepsiCo\'s global operations, has been with the company for 23 years.<br /><br />Goodman, 61, has served in a range of senior finance and strategy positions at PepsiCo, and played a pivotal role in completing the company\'s largest acquisitions in nearly a decade.<br /><br />He joined the company in 1992 as vice president of international strategic planning and has served as chief financial officer of former PepsiCo restaurant units, KFC International and Taco Bell. Later, he was named PepsiCo\'s general auditor and head of risk management. In 2001, he was appointed CFO of the company\'s international beverage unit. He was named CFO of the company\'s combined international food and beverage business in 2003, helping to grow the business\' sales outside North America to nearly $13 billion in 2006 from less than $8 billion in 2003.<br /><br />As CFO of PepsiCo since 2006, Goodman helped to successfully steer the company through the global economic crisis and complete major acquisitions, including the purchase of PepsiCo\'s two largest bottlers, Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. and PepsiAmericas, Inc., in February 2010. He also established PepsiCo Finance University to support the professional development of the company\'s finance leaders and is executive sponsor of the resource group for PepsiCo\'s African-American employees. Prior to joining PepsiCo, Goodman worked with W.R. Grace and Co. (GRA) in a variety of global CFO roles.<br /><br />Newly-appointed CFO Hugh Johnston was named executive vice president of PepsiCo\'s global operations earlier this year, with additional responsibilities for the post-merger integration of the two bottling companies.<br /><br />Since joining PepsiCo in 1987, Johnston, 48, has held merger and acquisitions, finance and strategy positions in PepsiCo\'s corporate headquarters as well as finance and general management roles in the company\'s North American snack and beverage businesses.<br /><br />Johnston left PepsiCo from August 1999 through March 2002 to serve as Vice President, retail, at Merck Medco, leading that company\'s retail pharmacy card business. He rejoined PepsiCo in 2002 as senior vice president of mergers and acquisitions, and later became chief financial officer for PepsiCo Beverages & Foods, where he was responsible for leading the finance function for Pepsi-Cola North America, Tropicana, Gatorade North America and Quaker Foods North America.Johnston held this position until 2005, when he became Senior Vice President of transformation. In 2006, he assumed the role of executive vice president of operations and was responsible for the company\'s global transformation, supply chain, procurement and information technology functions.<br /><br />In 2007, Johnston was named president of Pepsi-Cola North America Beverages, and was responsible for strategic direction and financial performance, with accountability for sales, franchise management, field marketing and operations. Indra Nooyi, PepsiCo Chairman and CEO said, \"It is with very mixed emotions that I am making this announcement because Richard not only has done an excellent job as CFO, but has been a trusted advisor to me and the entire senior management team. Richard and I have been working closely on an orderly succession plan, given his desire to step-down from his current position at age 62, and we agreed that the recent completion of our two major bottling acquisitions makes this an opportune time for the transition.\"<br /><br />Nooyi added, \"At the same time, I am delighted to have as CFO Hugh Johnston, an extremely talented executive with deep finance and general management experience. And I am very pleased to announce that, at my request, Richard has agreed to stay on with PepsiCo in a key role, one that provides him with some well-deserved personal flexibility.\"<br /><br />On Monday, PepsiCo said its board approved a 7% increase in annual dividend and also authorized repurchase of up to $15 billion of its common stock through June 2013. The company increased its annual dividend to $1.92 per share from the current annual rate of $1.80 per share. The increase will be effective when the board declares the next quarterly common stock dividend, which is currently expected to be paid on June 30, 2010 to shareholders of record on June 4, 2010.<br /><br />In early March, PepsiCo said it completed the $7.8 billion acquisitions of its two largest bottlers, Pepsi Bottling Group and PepsiAmericas, and reaffirmed its expectations for pre-tax synergies from the transactions of about $400 million annually by 2012. The company also reiterated its earnings outlook for fiscal year 2010 and said it expects to achieve low double-digit earnings per share growth on a constant currency basis in 2011 and 2012.','','','\r\n	Purchase, NY-based PepsiCo promoted Hugh Johnston to Chief Financial Officer.\r\n',1,2,'','','bikki',5,'Hugh-Johnston-Pepsico-Chief-Financial-Officer-Promoted',0,'2013-12-28',0),(11042,16936,920,'Chief Financial Officer','Ian G.

She left Williams-Sonoma earlier this year after serving as an executive officer at the company for more than a decade.<br /><br />McCollam will succeed James Muehlbauer, who joined Best Buy a decade ago and has served as CFO since 2008. Best Buy said last month that Muehlbauer planned to retire. Per Best Buy’s previously announced transition plans, Muehlbauer will exit the CFO role when McCollam takes over the position but stay on with the company through its 2013 fiscal year, which concludes February 3, to help facilitate a smooth transition.<br /><br />Best Buy said that McCollam “will influence and shape all aspects of Best Buy’s operations and transformation strategy.” She will be responsible for the company’s global finance, strategic planning, and corporate development, as well as the oversight of Best Buy’s real estate portfolio.<br /><br />McCollam is the latest executive to be appointed to Best Buy’s leadership team since President and CEO Hubert Joly took the reins in September. For example, the company recently hired Scott Durchslag—former president of online travel agency Expedia Worldwide—as senior vice president and president of online and global e-commerce.<br /><br />In late October, the company said that two of its executives were “being removed”: Mike Vitelli, president of Best Buy’s U.S. operations, and Tim Sheehan, executive vice president and chief administrative officer.<br /><br />Shawn Score was subsequently appointed to lead the company’s U.S. retail channel, and McCollam will assume the chief administrative officer role.<br /><br />The Star Tribune reported that McCollam’s appointment to Best Buy’s leadership team will likely please investors; in fact, she was reportedly mentioned by several analysts as a possible candidate to lead Best Buy after Brian Dunn resigned in April. The company’s stock price closed up 3.6 percent on Monday at $15.85.<br /><br />“Anyone who has spent time working to turn a company around knows that few things matter more than having a world-class CFO who also has deep operational experience; Sharon is just that person,” Joly said in a statement. “During her dozen years with Williams-Sonoma, she exercised a level of operational and financial discipline that made that company the envy of the retail world. Her in-depth understanding of retail and e-commerce makes her an instantly powerful contributor to our transformation initiatives.”<br /><br />According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, McCollam is well regarded for her role in scaling back Williams-Sonoma’s store base after it expanded too rapidly prior to the recession. She also gained extensive online-retailing experience at Williams-Sonoma, which in its last fiscal year derived 38 percent of its revenue from e-commerce, the newspaper reported.<br /><br />Best Buy’s announcement about McCollam, as well as Joly’s larger executive restructuring, comes at a time when founder Richard Schulze is putting together a bid to take the company private.<br /><br />The Star Tribune recently reported that a bid could come as early as this week, although Reuters reported that Schulze’s offer is likely to come in December, and it may be below the previously expected $8 billion range, as the company’s stock price has fallen significantly since Schulze first announced plans to attempt a takeover.','','http://tcbmag.com/News/Recent-News/2012/November/Best-Buy-Names-Sharon-McCollam-CFO','\r\n	Richfield, MN - based Best Buy Co.
