Foss was named Pepsi Bottling Group's chief executive in July 2006. He also sits on the board of United Dominion Realty Trust Inc (UDR.N).

Beracha has been a member of the board since Pepsi Bottling Group became a publicly traded company in 1999. He also serves on the board of Hertz Global Holdings Inc (HTZ.N).
