Before joining S&P Global, Berisford spent 22 years at PepsiCo where he spearheaded a number of important global initiatives and transformations, including helping to lead the integration of the independent Pepsi Bottling Group into PepsiCo's overall corporate structure and serving as the Chief Human Resources Officer at the Pepsi Bottling Group after its initial public offering.
