PepsiCo

It’s been 42 years that Pepsi has been around. If we take a trip down memory lane, then although Pepsi Cola Company was founded in 1898, it only became PepsiCo when it merged with Frito Lay in 1965. Here’s a list of the others who lead from the top. Herman W Lay served as PepsiCo’s first chairman between 1965 and 1971, Donald Kendall between 1971 and 1986, Wayne D Calloway between 1986 and 1996, Roger A Enrico between 1996 and 2001, and then Reinemund took over in 2001. In the statement released by Pepsi, Nooyi said: “PepsiCo is on a sound strategic course with solid momentum thanks to Steve’s (Reinemund) leadership, and along with every Pepsi- Co associate, I’m looking forward to building on the lasting legacy credited to him, Roger, Wayne, Don, & Herman.”

Between themselves, internet service providers, and wireless companies, BellSouth has lost 3.6 million access lines over the past half decade.
