PepsiCo Promotes Internally Again in Legal Chief Shuffle
“For the second time in four years, PepsiCo Inc. will have a new top lawyer, David Flavell, who is now the company’s deputy general counsel and chief compliance and ethics officer,” reports Brian Baxter in Bloomberg Law’s Business & Practice.
“Flavell will take over March 1 from David Yawman as PepsiCo’s general counsel and corporate secretary. Yawman became PepsiCo’s legal chief in 2017 following the departure of former Justice Department lawyer Tony West, who left to take the top legal job at Uber Technologies Inc.”
“PepsiCo said in a Jan. 28 statement that Yawman is leaving the company where he has spent more than 22 years to pursue other interests. In a Friday interview with Bloomberg Law, Yawman said he plans to rest for a few months before joining Cresco Partners Inc., a boutique executive leadership and development firm.”
