For the second time this month, Amazon has elected a woman of color to its board of directors.
This time it’s former PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi. She joins Starbucks COO and group president Rosalind Brewer, who was elected at the beginning of February.
According to a regulatory filing, Nooyi was also appointed to the board’s Audit Committee. She stepped down after more than two decades at Pepsi last year. She served as chairwoman of Pepsi’s board from May 2007 to February 2019.
As a result of her appointment, Nooyi received 549 shares of common stock, which, at a price of $1,640 a share, is worth about $900,000.
Per a filing about Brewer’s appointment, she was also appointed to the board’s Leadership Development and Compensation Committee.
