CHICAGO -- Senior leaders in retail and consumer goods are joining the Network of Executive Women's NEW Future Fund campaign for 50/50 gender parity in the industry.
PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi and Target CEO Brian Cornell serve as co-chairs of the NEW Future Fund, a two-year, $5 million effort to transform NEW and drive women's leadership.
“On behalf of PepsiCo, I’m proud to support the NEW Future Fund to make sure women are equally represented at the highest levels of our industry," Nooyi said. "We know that when we open the doors of opportunity to extraordinary women, businesses thrive.”
The NEW Future Fund is more than a capital campaign designed to expand the reach and capabilities of the Network of Executive Women; it’s an alliance for the industry’s future with a goal of nothing short of gender parity in the retail and consumer-goods industry and a workplace with no limits for everyone, according to NEW.
"I’m thrilled to represent Target and join Indra as co-chair of NEW’s Future Fund," Cornell said. "There’s no question we’re making progress, but we still have work to do to achieve gender parity in the industry. The work that will be done as a result of this campaign is a critical step in this process.”
