the eBay brand, led global strategies on key marketing initiatives and shared
best practices across the globe.  

Knight also put in over 19 years in various positions at PepsiCo including VP,
International Marketing for Gatorade. In that position he successfully
delivered the first global Gatorade integrated marketing campaigns and rolled
out Gatorade throughout the PepsiCo bottling network in Latin America, Europe
and Asia.  Prior to that, Knight led PepsiCo's successful strategy to
introduce Gatorade, Tropicana Juices, SoBe Teas and Aquafina water to the Asia
Pacific region, and spent 11 years marketing for the Frito-Lay snack food

included stints in Hong Kong, Sydney, Dallas, San Francisco and New York City.
