Consider Indira Nooyi as a role model for people who want to join the world of finance.
Answers
In 2006, when Indra Nooyi took over as the CEO of PepsiCo, she shattered the glass ceiling for immigrants and women, becoming one of the world’s most powerful corporate executives heading a business with a billion-plus dollar revenue.
At that time, Nooyi was one of fewer than a dozen women at the helm of America’s 500 largest companies. Under her stewardship, PepsiCo navigated an economic recession, withstood challenges from activist investors, and increased public and policy awareness on issues such as obesity and environmental protection.
Even as she navigated through these challenges, the company’s revenues rose from $35 billion to more than $63 billion, and its share price increased by about 80%. Nooyi led PepsiCo to environmental responsibility: reducing water usage and the carbon footprint, and increasing recycling.
