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 guess she was promoted beyond her level of incompetence.
So you are saying that Diet Pepper is such an absurd concotion that even a totally chemical version devoid of calories manages to taste the same?
Mmmm sounds wonderful /sarc
No. Pepsi spun off their restaurants years ago. KFC & Pizza Hut are part of the YUM group.
The list of products from PepsiCo is long. Lot's of things to avoid buying and lots of e-mails to write.
Frankly, if somebody doesn't like me, I tend to not like them, and not give them my money.
don't forget to boycott lifewater, lipton bottled teas, and mountain dew is distributed by Pepsi.
Good to know, I work for Pizza Hut part time.
you bet! it probably was done as an affirmative action move.
Hey I hear Vicente Fox is looking for a new gig. He used to run Coke in Mexico. Heck they could hire him as VP in charge of public relations and they would have two U.S. haters in the corporate office.

No, I am saying that DP is the only company that managed to make a diet drink that was drinkable. I don't drink it any more, haven't for years, because of all the chemicals that go into ANY diet drink. I drink the real thing, or water, or ice tea (no sugar).
it isn't there, a lot of the posts are no longer there.
I wonder how well this is going to sit with the Pakistani cricket team. Pepsi is their main sponsor and now there is an Indian woman running the company.
Ha! Put a little splenda in coffee and it rocks!
You weren't perhaps, at Camp McCastro in the summer of 1980?
LOL Absolutely not!
I notice that the pdf of the speech, which is the link at the end of that Power Line entry, has now been removed from Pepsi's web site.
Great letter. Let us know if you get a response.
coffee and diet coke on ice!!!!!
I've heard that before. Back in the days of glass "Return for Deposit" bottles, I recall my dad saying that Pepsi tasted similar to Coke, except that when they washed the bottles for re-use they forgot to rinse out the soap residue.
