Al ver la de cosas interesantes que dices de Indra Nooyi solo puedo alegrarme por el triunfo de una mujer en un mundo el negocios, especialmente pensado para hombres, donde el hecho que una mujer destaque es noticia.
Pienso también que unas personas lo tienen todo, inteligencia, familia, dinero y además son guapas, no es justo cuando otros no tienen nada de nada.
Me alegro por ella y por todas las mujers que como tu os esforzais porque el hecho de que una mujer alcance algo no sea más meritorio que el que lo alcance un hombre.
Llegara el dia en el que la noticia sea "Nuevo director general, consejero delegado de Pepsi" sin hacer incapie en si es hombre o mujer! Seguro que llegara... :-)
