Former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of PepsiCo Indra Nooyi discusses her memoir "My Life in Full: Work, Family, and Our Future", a firsthand view of her legendary career and the sacrifices it so often demanded. "My Life in Full" takes us through the events that shaped Nooyi, from her childhood and early education in 1960s India, to the Yale School of Management, to her rise as a corporate consultant and strategist who soon ascended into the most senior executive ranks. The book offers an inside look at PepsiCo, and Nooyi’s thinking as she steered the iconic American company toward healthier products and worked to reduce the company’s environmental impact, despite resistance at every turn. For the first time, Nooyi also lays bare the difficulties that came with managing her demanding job with a growing family, what she learned along the way, and what it means for our future. She makes a clear, actionable, urgent call for business and government to prioritize the care ecosystem, paid leave and work flexibility, and a convincing argument for how improving company and community support for young family builders will unleash the economy’s full potential.
