PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi Signals Support for Roger Goodell
Posted in: Uncategorized
The National Football League, which on Wednesday was criticized by Anheuser Busch InBev, got a much-needed vote of confidence Thursday from PepsiCo, which like the brewer is a major NFL advertiser and sponsor.
Indra Nooyi — the food and beverage giant’s CEO and one of the highest-ranking females in corporate America — said the recent player incidents are “casting a cloud over the integrity of the league,” but she also lent support to embattled NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the league in general.
“Given PepsiCo’s long-standing partnership with the NFL, I know Roger Goodell. We have worked together for many years. I know him to be a man of integrity, and I am confident that he will do the right thing for the league in light of the serious issues it is facing,” Ms. Nooyi said in a statement. “Over the past several days, it is increasingly apparent that the NFL is starting to treat these issues with the seriousness they deserve,” she added.
