The 2017 Women’s March, International Women’s Day and Equal Pay Day are some of the recent national events that have highlighted women’s contributions to society. These events also got me thinking about diversity and women in the beverage industry.

Indra Nooyi, chairman and chief executive officer of PepsiCo, leads one of world’s largest food and beverage companies and recently shared her vision at BNP Media’s Beverage Forum, which took place in late April in Chicago. She also advocates for finding the next generation of women to lead the way through the company’s global diversity and engagement initiatives.
