This case profile the diversity journey of PepsiCo under the leadership of former chairman and CEO Steve Reinemund who instituted diversity as one of the planned imperatives of the company. It illustrates the ways in which Reinemund partnered with his leadership team and employees throughout the organization to make diversity a key variable in the culture and functionality of PepsiCo.
In addition, it reveals how, no matter the success, PepsiCo employees were openly speculating what it would mean for the diversity strategy that Reinemund would be turning the helm of PepsiCo over to Indra Nooyi, a 50-year old Indian-born woman, who would have to find her own voice and approach to directing the business and its diversity efforts.
