Steve’s breakdown: The strange thing here is this ex-CMO is becoming a COO. Either way, we think this a major late Friday afternoon announcement and all should keep an eye on SC.

RACINE, WI: PepsiCo Inc Chief Marketing Officer Salman Amin is leaving the food and beverage company for SC Johnson, PepsiCo said in an internal memo.

Amin will join the privately held SC Johnson as its North American chief operating officer, according to the PepsiCo memo, issued last week and seen by Reuters on Friday.
