“I decided to take a risk and stand before you, the CEO of a large corporation, ready to do a speech on what the CEO of the future might look like,” Indra Nooyi said when she spoke at the Economic Club because, she explained, “In a recently published survey, academics and industry experts came out as the most trusted spokespeople in the world.
