Woman named CEO of Pepsi-Cola (Isn't she the middle finger speech maker?)
The Washington Times ^ | August , | Vinnee Tong

Posted on 08/15/2006 4:24:11 AM PDT by saveliberty

Pepsico Inc. Chief Financial Officer Indra K. Nooyi will replace Steven Reinemund as chief executive, the Pepsi-Cola and snacks company said yesterday, making her the No. 2-ranked female CEO in the Fortune 500.
    With her Oct. 1 appointment, Mrs. Nooyi takes her place in an elite group of 11 female CEOs running Fortune 500 companies. Patricia Woertz at agricultural processor Archer Daniels Midland Co. ranks first. ADM is ranked 56th in the Fortune 500, while Pepsico, the world's second-largest soft-drink company after Coca-Cola Co., is ranked 61st.
    "I'm very excited and at the same time very humbled," she told analysts during a conference call yesterday morning.
    Mrs. Nooyi said she felt fortunate to be taking over at a time when Pepsico was in such a strong position, with solid growth across all its business units. She and Mr. Reinemund have worked closely over the last five years, and Mrs. Nooyi described their relationship as one in which they complete each other's sentences.
    "Indra Nooyi is truly a star and has been working side by side with Mr. Reinemund over the past several years," Citigroup analyst Bonnie Herzog wrote. "She has been very involved with every major decision Pepsico has made over the past five-plus years, and therefore, we expect this transition to be very smooth."

;-) I think that was the point of saying that she'd risen beyond her level of incompetence.

She's an anomaly to the Principle.

Thanks for the link.

Early on, she realized she would have to adapt to her new country because it wasn’t going to adapt to her.

"Early on, she realized...."???
This reads as if Nooyi at first thought that "her new country" would adapt to her. Good grief.

You're welcome.

I think the hint is what her "management style" is like. And it's not good.

No Gatorade? Dammit. I live on that stuff during performance season.

Guess it's Powerade or Propel from now on.

Did you read the actual text of the speech? I want someone to confirm that she did this. I found out that Applebee's uses Pepsi products. I told the server about this and she said I should write Applebee's, which I plan to do.
