Former PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi has memoir out in September

NEW YORK (AP) - Former PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi has a memoir coming out this fall that her publisher is calling an 'œunvarnished take" on her rise to becoming one of the world's most powerful women.

'œMy Life in Full: Work, Family and Our Future" will be published Sept. 28, Portfolio Books announced Monday. Nooyi, 65, will trace her life from her childhood in India to her experiences as an immigrant at Yale University's business school to her many achievements as the rare woman and person of color in the upper echelons of the corporate world.

She worked at PepsiCo for 24 years, 12 of them as CEO, before stepping down in 2018. While she was CEO, PepsiCo's revenues grew from $35 billion to $63.5 billion and she became known for promoting such 'œgood for you'ť snacks as Baked Lay's potato chips and Naked juices made of fruits and vegetables.

The mother of two children, she also spoke candidly while at PepsiCo of the difficulties in balancing commitments.

'œAs I wrote '~My Life in Full,' I saw how my own story relates to our evolving global economy and how it may inform our progress on better integrating work and family in the years ahead,'ť Nooyi said in a statement Monday. 'œI hope this book inspires business leaders, policymakers and all women and men passionate about easing the work-and-family burden to come together and create change.'ť

Portfolio is an imprint at Penguin Random House. Financial terms for Nooyi's book were not disclosed. She was represented by Washington attorney Robert Barnett, whose clients range from former President Barack Obama to Nike co-founder Phil Knight.
