Introducing the inaugural S.Suite Chair
Indra Nooyi
Former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, PepsiCo
It is our honor to announce Indra Nooyi as the inaugural recipient of The S.Suite Chair — SALUTE’s lifetime achievement honor, recognizing extraordinary leadership, enduring legacy, and lasting impact.
As Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PepsiCo, she led a Fortune 50 company with operations in more than 180 countries, and was the chief architect of Performance with Purpose — PepsiCo’s pledge to do what was right for the business by being responsive to the needs of the world around it. Through board and advisory roles spanning business, healthcare, education, public service, and the arts, she continues to shape leading institutions.
Her impact has been recognized globally: 15 honorary degrees, India’s Padma Bhushan, the country’s third-highest civilian honor, inclusion in the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, and induction into the National Women’s Hall of Fame. Her New York Times bestselling memoir, My Life in Full: Work, Family and Our Future, reflects on the many roles that have shaped her life — as a leader, wife, mother, and daughter — while offering a call to action on how society can better support women.
Her life and career embody what The S.Suite Chair was created to recognize: achievement at the highest level, and an enduring commitment to creating greater possibility for others.
