PepsiCo did not have a woman in the senior ranks, nor a foreign-born person who was willing to think differently.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It appears that PepsiCo views structural change as a sign of weakness, an admission of failure, and an untenable break with past traditions.
Even after such milestones as Kathryn Bigelow winning an Oscar, there still seem to be few women in leadership roles.
Clearly no one knows what leadership has gone undiscovered in women of all races, and in black and other minority men.
It's easy to dislike the few senior women out there. What if women were half the positions in power? It would be harder to dislike all of them.
Hollywood studio executives don't recognize the value of female performers as much as male performers.
One of the interesting things about being a female police officer in the '60s is they really didn't have opportunities to do any serious police work - they filed, and they made coffee, and they were treated like secretaries.
Companies the size of PepsiCo is like running a little republic, there is no question about it. The only difference is that I don't have to worry about the media hounding me every day, on every word that I say. I have a board of directors that runs the country in the interest of the stake holders.
There are two kinds of artists left: those who endorse Pepsi and those who simply won't.
Once again, no one in charge had given any thought to the possibility that a woman would be involved.
I learned a woman is never an old woman.
