“Unconscious bias can only be addressed if the sisterhood calls it out.”
CEO Indra Nooyi says she doesn’t miss being in charge. Instead, she’s been too busy focusing on paying it forward to the next generation of women by encouraging them to rally around each other and break new barriers together.
“It’s very, very important that we stop talking about unconscious bias, and start doing something about it,” she said. “The onus is not just on the men. It’s on the women.” “When you’re a female, colored woman, immigrant serving as a CEO of a large company and undertaking a transformation, there are tons of critics,” she said. “All the time you were in the public eye trying to answer the critics. So it was a grind all the time.”
“I told them this is where we’re going to invest,” she said referring to PepsiCo investors and fund managers. “They said, ‘You’re not Mother Theresa.'”
