This is my official first post, and it is dedicated to Karem, my dear girlfriend. Last January I got the Fortune magazine at the Frankfurt airport, because in Valencia it is hard to find it. Anyway, one of the most interesting articles is about the 25 most powerful business people, starring by Steve Jobs and many others famous people that we heard in the news every day. Well, in this list the number 23 is Indra Nooyi, the Chaiman and CEO at PepsiCo. I have heard about her, but I didn’t know how well she is doing at PepsiCo. According to the Fortune Magazine she is the most powerful women in business. In other important business magazines, Forbes, she is listed as the fifth most powerful women, and I have found there the reason for writing this post: “Being a woman, being a foreign-born, you’ve got to be smarter than anyone else”, she said. I really admire this woman. She is graduated from the Madras Christian College (where she studied Chemistry!), and later she got a Master Degree in Finance and Marketing from the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta. She has been doing a great job at PepsiCo since 2001 when she was named CFO, and she became CEO on August 14 from 2006. She is just a successful woman, with a great spirit.
