PepsiCo's Indra Nooyi to step down as CEO
 [Reuters] PepsiCo Inc said on Monday Indra Nooyi would step down as chief executive officer in October after 12 years at the helm. PepsiCo President Ramon Laguarta will replace Nooyi, the company said in a statement. Just a reminder of what a tool this fool is: 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. "I had to answer a lot of questions, from my daughters, from my employees, they were all in mourning," Nooyi said. "Our employees are all crying, and the question that they are asking, especially those that are not white: 'Are we safe?' Women are asking, 'Are we safe?' LGBT people are asking, 'Are we safe?' I never thought I'd have had to answer those questions." That fear came from Trump's campaign trail rhetoric threatening to keep Muslims out of the country, a message that seemed to fade during the latter days of the race Posted by: Frank G 2018-08-06 |
