 | Shauna King |
PepsiCo executive Shauna King has been appointed Yale's vice president of finance and administration effective June 1, 2006, President Richard C. Levin has announced.
King has worked for most of her career in various capacities at PepsiCo, most recently as president of PepsiCo Shared Services, global chief information officer and chief transformation officer. In the first two capacities her efforts facilitated alignment within operating divisions and strengthened a worldwide information technology (IT) organization of 2,700 professionals, Levin said. In the last of her assignments, she began the process of transforming PepsiCo from a highly decentralized company into one that shares business processes and IT systems across its divisions.
"Shauna King has had an impressive career as a leader in improving the operations of large, complex organizations," Levin said. "Throughout her career, Ms. King has demonstrated a capacity to communicate a vision and to motivate people. She is gifted at problem diagnosis and priority setting, and she is also committed to encouraging the professional development of those around her."
King was a staff accountant at Price Waterhouse in the early 1980s before moving to PepsiCo. She worked first in the Frito-Lay division, where she held positions of increasing responsibility in finance and marketing. Between 1994 and 1998, during an interval away from PepsiCo, she was president of a consulting firm in Texas, providing management and operations advice to several major corporations. She returned to Frito-Lay in 1998, first as vice president of field finance and later as vice president and general manager of the Club Channel.
King, a certified public accountant, has a B.S. in psychology from Saint Lawrence University in Canton, New York, and an M.B.A. in accounting and finance from Cornell University.
Levin said King would be spending considerable time at Yale during April and May in preparation for assuming her formal responsibilities. King will succeed John Pepper, the former chair of Procter & Gamble and senior fellow of the Yale Corporation.
Bruce Alexander, vice president of New Haven and State Affairs, served as acting vice president of finance and administration during the search for Pepper's successor. Levin recently announced that Alexander would add the oversight of facilities planning, construction, renovation and maintenance to his previous duties as of June 1.
