Firing Line with Margaret Hoover Former PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi explains why corporations can’t solve all of society’s problems
Former PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi joins Margaret Hoover to discuss the future of the workplace, the care economy and the role companies should play in addressing problems in society.
Nooyi, who has written a new memoir My Life in Full: Work, Family, and our Future, talks about her childhood in India, her decision to come to the United States and her rise up the corporate ladder.
She describes her personal struggle to juggle work and family and her professional struggle to push the soda-and-snack giant toward more sustainable products, including healthier options and packaging that does less damage to the environment.
She joined PepsiCo in 1994 and became the 11th female Fortune 500 CEO when she took the helm in 2006. She says that big corporations need to find a more “judicious balance” between shareholder and stakeholder interests.
