Pepsi Lipton Joint Venture, CFO

Mikateko Tshetshe

A transformational leader at Pepsi Lipton, the joint venture between PepsiCo and Unilever, Mikateko Tshetshe works at the intersection of sustainable growth, digital transformation, and organizational change. With a career spanning finance, commercial strategy, business leadership, and talent development, she is passionate about partnering with other system changers to steer industries to make bold choices that create long-term value for both business and society. Originally from South Africa and now based in Switzerland, Mikateko is particularly interested in developing partnerships and relationships that will strengthen her ability to be part of communities that build more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable futures, shaping policy and actions with founders, investors and corporates that tackle meaningful challenges. She believes that significant progress happens when diverse perspectives come together around a shared purpose and when leaders are willing to challenge established thinking in pursuit of greater societal impact. Through IMAGINE, she hopes to build relationships that will benefit from her global, regional and market roles in FMCG, pharmaceuticals and beverage industries. She also hopes to deepen her understanding of transformational leadership, learn from leaders across sectors and geographies, and explore new ways of driving positive change through collaboration, innovation, and purposeful leadership.
