英德拉·努伊

Chairman and CEO of Pepsi Co中 华 考 试 网

Indra Nooyi joined PepsiCo in 1994 and was named president and CFO in 2001. She has directed the company’s global strategy for more than a decade and led PepsiCo’s restructuring, including the 1997 divestiture of its restaurants into Tricon, now known as Yum!. In 2007 she became the fifth CEO in PepsiCo’s 44-year history. Business officials rave at her ability to drive deep and hard while maintaining a sense of heart and fun. According to Business Week, since she started as CFO in 2000, the company’s annual revenues have risen 72%, while net profit more than doubled. She’s back on top for the fourth year, delivering strong profits on $43 billion in sales. Her August deal to buy Pepsi’s two biggest bottlers should produce some $300 million in annual cost savings. One weak spot: Consumers panned the rebranding of Gatorade and Tropicana.

英德拉·努伊于1994年加入百事可乐，并于2001年被任命为总裁兼首席财务官。她指导公司的全球策略达十余年，领导了百事可乐的重组，包括 1997年剥离旗下餐馆，组建为百胜公司(Tricon，即现在的YUM!)。2007年，她成为百事可乐44年历史上第五位首席执行官。业界管理层盛赞她不仅有投入和拼命的工作干劲，同时还保持着用心感悟，享受一切的良好心态。《商业周刊》称，自从她2000年担任首席财务官以来，百事可乐的年度收入增长了72%，净利润增长了一倍多。这已是她第四次位居榜首，而百事可乐去年的销售额达430亿美元。今年8月，百事将购买两大灌装厂，此举将使百事可乐每年节省3亿美元的开支。美中不足：佳得乐和果缤纷改头换面后，遭到了消费者的严厉批评。
