PepsiCo chief Indra Nooyi joins US President-elect Donald Trump's advisory council

WASHINGTON: Indian-American PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi has joined Donald Trump's Strategic and Policy Forum that aims to assist the president-elect in implementing his economic agenda, the presidential transition team said on Wednesday.

Chennai-born Nooyi, 61, is the only Indian-origin executive in the 19-member President's Strategic and Policy Forum, which was first announced early this week. Three new members were also announced in addition to the current 16.

The other corporate bigwigs to join the forum are Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, and SpaceX and Tesla chairman Elon Musk.

The forum, composed of some of America's most highly respected and successful business leaders, will meet with the president frequently to share their specific experience and knowledge as the president implements his economic agenda, a media release said adding the forum will be chaired by Stephen A Schwarzman, chairman, CEO, and co-founder of Blackstone.

"America has the most innovative and vibrant companies in the world, and the pioneering CEOs joining this forum today are at the top of their fields," Trump said.

"My administration is going to work together with the private sector to improve the business climate and make it attractive for firms to create new jobs across the United States from Silicon Valley to the heartland," he said.

According to the presidential transition team, members of the forum will be charged with providing their individual views to the president -- informed by their unique vantage points in the private sector -- on how government policy impacts economic growth, job creation and productivity.

"The forum is designed to provide direct input to the president from many of the best and brightest in the business world in a frank, non-bureaucratic and non-partisan manner," the media release said.

As chairman and CEO of PepsiCo, Nooyi heads a company that has more than $63 billion in annual net revenue, and more than $35 billion in the US alone.

PepsiCo is the largest US food and beverage company with about 1,10,000 employees and 100 plants across the country.

During the general election, Nooyi was a known supporter of Trump's Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.

After Trump's victory she said that Clinton's defeat+ in the election has left her daughters, gay workers, employees and non-whites devastated as there was "serious concern" among them about their safety in the US with Trump as president.

"I had to answer a lot of questions from my daughters, from our employees. They were all in mourning. Our employees were all crying. The question that they are asking, especially those who are not white - 'Are we safe', women are asking 'Are we safe', LGBT people are asking 'Are we safe'," she said at a New York conference on November 10.

"The process of democracy happened, we just have to let life go on. We have to come together and life has to go on," she said.

PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi on election: People are asking, ‘Are we safe?’

CNBC, Novemebr 10, 2016

PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi was among corporate America’s staunchest Hillary Clinton supporters. After the election, Nooyi has had a lot of work to do assuring her employees — and her daughters — that everything was going to be OK.

Following Donald Trump’s stunning upset Tuesday, Nooyi said her daughters and some of her employees were “in mourning.” For her non-white employees, the emotions were even more somber.

Pepsi used to be on the pro-life naughty list. For a while it had a project going where it was going to use something like fetal kidney cells to evaluate the flavor profile of sodas, kind of a strange idea from any viewpoint, even if they weren’t human. Coca-Cola always relied on old fashioned taste tests, and Pepsi went back to that. But now people are saying Pepsi donates to PP... another confusing situation since PP has abortion and non-abortion wings, and one is obviously worse than the other.

But anyhow. She’s an advisor not an administrator so it will all get filtered through the Donald anyhow, which I daresay will work better than fetal kidney cells in any case :-).
