Pepsi Cola CEO Rui: Self Confidence Creates Miracles

Not long ago, Inda Nooyi, the first female chief executive in the history of Pepsi Co, went to Beijing to attend the Chinese Academy of Sciences Forum on science and humanities.

During the period, she talked with the Chinese Academy of Sciences about how to prepare for CEO in the university campus.

He said it would take a lot of effort to become the best.

As a leader, we must have excellent communication skills and adhere to the indispensable consistency.

In addition, we should have courage. "If you don't have courage, you will have no confidence. As a leader, you must have full courage."

In fact, Inda Nooyi began to steer the US Pepsi Co in October 2006.

How can this legendary woman become the only female CEO in the world's top 500?

Inda Nooyi was born in a middle class family in Chennai, southern India.

In 1976, she received a bachelor's degree in mathematics, chemistry and physics at the Madras missionary Institute. She enrolled in the MBA course at India Business Institute, one of the only two business schools in India, and worked as a Johnson branch in India after graduation.

Soon after the interview, an advertisement in the school of management at Yale University attracted the attention of her. Soon after the application was made, she was accepted and went to the United States to study.

After receiving a master's degree in management at Yale University, nu successively served in a number of multinational corporations, such as Boston consulting, Motorola, ABB and so on.

In 1994, he joined PepsiCo Inc.

In the 12 years of Pepsi's struggle, her performance can be described as a "war hero".

He worked for the strategic planning and development department for many years, and was directly responsible for Roger Enrico, who later became chief executive of PepsiCo, and participated in every major strategic decision of the company.

Pepsi was in a crucial pition period.

She is one of the key figures who contributed to the successful pformation of the company. She insists that the company should rid itself of the struggling chain restaurant business, give full play to the advantages of the product structure and focus on the core brand of the market.

Roger Enrico, who was then chief executive of Pepsi, initially disagreed, but was eventually persuaded.

In October 1997, PepsiCo made a major strategic adjustment, separating pizza hut, KFC and TacoBell restaurants from the company, making it an independent listed company -- Yum global company.

In addition, he is a master of commercial mergers and acquisitions.

Stanley, a beverage analyst at Morgan Stanley, said he had the ability to find value in mergers and acquisitions.

For every acquisition, she is very precise and confident.

She made a series of strategic decisions for Pepsi.

Since 1998, with the participation and promotion of SoBe, PepsiCo has merged the world's first pure Connor juice company and the mixed beverage business.

In 2001, as the main negotiator, she completed the acquisition of the company of PepsiCo, and the total purchase amount amounted to US $13 billion 800 million. PepsiCo also became the champion of the world's carbonated beverage enterprises.

Robert E Alan, director of the PepsiCo Inc, said that it is precisely that he helped PepsiCo identify a solid direction and achieved the current success.

As a result, in May 2001, he was appointed director and chief financial officer by the board of directors, and embarked on a plan for restructuring PepsiCo Inc.

In October 2006, when she became the first female CEO in PepsiCo Inc history, people were not surprised.

As the former CEO Steve Raymond commented: "I worked side by side with Inda for many years, convinced that she was fully qualified for the new role and obviously ready."

In the future, he will still be abroad. However, he will face a series of problems after he holds the post of PepsiCo.

For example, Pepsi Cola is facing a crisis in India.

The India science and Environment Center once released a test result that 57 of the soft drink samples produced and sold by Coca Cola Co and Pepsi Co in India exceeded the standard of pesticide residues.

As a result, the authorities asked the two big beverage giants to hand over their own formula, otherwise any one of them could be completely banned in India.

At such a time, it is unclear whether Pepsi chooses CEO as a coincidence or arrangement.

But the fact shows that he and the India government have always maintained a very good and close relationship.

She goes to India several times a year to ensure that Pepsi is thriving in this emerging market.

Even in the face of major challenges in overseas development, the future of Pepsi is still in the overseas market.

Data show that in the traditional US market, PepsiCo's sales of flagship products such as soda drinks and snacks are growing slowly, so the company does not want to rely too much on the US market.

Garr, former head of PepsiCo market in India, has previously revealed that after taking office, he will continue to spare no effort to expand Pepsi's international development strategy.

Garr said: "she is very good at capturing business opportunities all over the world. This is the reason why Pepsi chose her and the future of Pepsi.

Although analysts pointed out that from her resume, as a leading Pepsi CEO, she lacked the experience of leading the most important beverage and snack departments.

However, the industry believes that Pepsi may also involve more work in order to get her necessary work experience.

It seems that everyone believes that his ability is enough to make up for his lack of career.
