Katekani Baloyi | Head of eCommerce Category Management
Pepsi Co

I am a consummate professional specialising in the leadership of commercial strategy for consumer goods. I have intentionally structured my career – educational and professional – for self-development as a broadly capable commercial leader that can engage across markets, product industries and customer segments. I've spent over 18 years actively honing my analytical, strategic, and people skills to ensure that when the time and opportunity arose for me to take on a leadership role, I would be ready. A digital native with a Bachelors degree in Economics and Finance from UCT, followed up with 3 years each in the clothing retail and FMCG sectors, and 4 years in the technology/start-up/NPO sectors, I have developed a strong intuition for understanding customers, identifying opportunities to maximise value for them and the organisation, and most importantly, driving key strategies and tactics to consistently deliver over and above my promised results.
