About Denny Heinz

Numbers tell a story, and working in Strategic Finance at PepsiCo, the world’s best beverage and snack company, gives me immense opportunity to tell stories that drive increased business and profitability for all of our stakeholders. I graduated in 2023 with an MBA from the University of Southern California Marshall School of Business and am an alumnus of USC’s Center for Investment Studies’ Student Investment Fund program.I went to business school to enable a career pivot after having served 20 years in the Navy as a Weapon Systems Officer (WSO) flying the FA-18F Super Hornet. Launching off the pointy end of an aircraft carrier is a thrill unrivaled by anything in this world and I\'m humbled to have had the privilege of flying for my country. Titles, accolades, and achievements don\'t define me or speak to what inspires me. I\'m a husband, a father, a son, a big brother, a dog lover, an entrepreneur, a chess enthusiast, an athlete, a drummer, a coach, and an eternal optimist. I\'d love to connect, engage, and hear your story. Message me anytime.
