For nearly 140 years, The Coca-Cola Company has shaped global beverage culture — from pioneering the idea of branding to building 30 distinct billion-dollar products. Under the leadership of James Quincey, the company has transformed its structure, embraced agility and expanded its vision to become a total beverage company, ready for a rapidly shifting marketplace. In this episode of Exceptional Leaders, Dara Mohsenian, U.S. Beverages and Household Products analyst, travels to Coca-Cola’s global headquarters in Atlanta to learn more about the company’s evolution. Quincey, who announced his retirement shortly after this interview took place in December 2025, reflects on global experience, culture change, brand iteration, consumer insight and the opportunities ahead in both developed and emerging markets. https://mgstn.ly/4akthzH
