Entry 19: Indra K. Nooyi (1955-living)

Indra K. Nooyi was born in India.  Growing up she had very much a mind of her own.  She graduated from Madras Christian College with a bachelor’s degree, and the Indian Institute of Management in Calcutta with a Master’s.  After graduating she worked a few jobs, but felt in over her head. She then decided to move to America and attended Yale University.  She was such a skilled worker after graduating that PepsiCo pushed to get her to join their team.  She accepted and didn’t let them down.  She was a key player in merging other big companies like Tropicana and Quaker Oats.  In 2006 she became CEO of PepsiCo.

I really enjoyed learning about Nooyi while writing this summary.  I would encourage everyone to look up more on her.  There are so many other things I could include, but for the sake of keeping things brief I won’t.
