Introducing Indra Nooyi
|
Bestselling Author, Former CEO and Chairman of PepsiCo, Indra Nooyi opens this year's event with an inspiring conversation about the events that shaped her, leading her to become the first first woman of color to run a Fortune 50 company.
Nooyi will lay bare the difficulties that came with managing her demanding job with a growing family, and what she learned along the way. She makes a clear, actionable, urgent call for business and government to prioritize the care ecosystem, paid leave, and work flexibility, and a convincing argument for how improving company and community support for young family builders will unleash the economy’s full potential. Interviewed by Laura Cruickshank, this intimate discussion will leave you inspired. Every attendee will receive a copy of Indra Nooyi's book, My Life in Full: Work, Family, and Our Future! |
