Russell to the position of Vice President -- the first time a major multinational corporation had appointed an African American to such a position. In the 2000s we named Indra Nooyi, a woman of Color to the Chairman and CEO roles. We know Diversity is critical for growth, innovation, reputation and employee engagement.  That is why we were one of the early sponsors of Break the ceiling touch the sky® and are proud of our shared mission of enabling more women and diverse talent to reach the very top roles in leadership."
