PepsiCo is deepening its collaboration with Google Cloud in a multi-year agreement aimed at transforming its global supply chain, accelerating decision-making, and embedding AI at scale across its food and beverage operations.
Announced at Cloud Next ’26, the partnership centers on leveraging Google Cloud’s Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform to help PepsiCo move “from insight to action more quickly and consistently at scale,” while strengthening its digital and multi-cloud foundations.
At the core of the collaboration is a push to modernize PepsiCo’s supply chain and go-to-market capabilities using AI.
“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, Latin America Foods, and Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer, PepsiCo.
She added: “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.”
The partnership enables PepsiCo to apply AI to complex challenges such as supply chain management and in-store execution—key priorities for global food and beverage operators navigating volatility and shifting demand.
PepsiCo will use Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform across three core areas:
The company is expanding its data and analytics capabilities through an AI-driven digital platform built on Google Cloud’s global infrastructure, creating a more resilient foundation for operations and digital transformation.
AI capabilities will support faster, more informed decision-making—from long-term strategic planning to real-time execution in stores—helping drive productivity and cost efficiency.
AI-enabled workflows will reduce manual effort and accelerate insight generation, allowing employees to focus on higher-value tasks while improving overall operational performance.
A key component of the collaboration is PepsiCo’s continued investment in a flexible, multi-cloud environment.
By migrating to Google Cloud’s secure global infrastructure, the company aims to build new digital capabilities that support its worldwide supply chain network and enable it to “leverage the best available AI technology” across use cases.
This approach is designed to enhance agility across markets while ensuring consistent performance at scale.
Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, emphasized the role of AI in advancing supply chain resilience:
“PepsiCo has a long history of using data to understand consumer demand. 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.”
The collaboration also aligns with PepsiCo’s broader transformation strategy, including its pep+ (PepsiCo Positive) framework, which places sustainability at the center of business growth.
By embedding AI across supply chain and operational workflows, PepsiCo is aiming to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and strengthen resilience—critical priorities for the global food and beverage sector.
