PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi gets 2013 pay bumped 5 per cent to $13.2 million
– canadianbusiness.com
NEW YORK, N.Y. – PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi got a pay package worth $13.2 million last year, representing a 5 per cent increase from the previous year.
The pay bump was the result of a higher performance-based bonus, reflecting the company’s improved financial results after coming out of a “transitional year” in which it slashed costs and stepped up investments in flagship brands.
In addition to its namesake soda, PepsiCo makes Gatorade, Mountain Dew, Quaker oats and Frito-Lay snacks such as Doritos and Cheetos.
PepsiCo Inc., based in Purchase, N.Y., had been under pressure to improve its results when Nooyi announced a “reset” in 2012 to strengthen its brands. The company made a point of investing more heavily in marketing for its Pepsi soda, which had lost market share to Coca-Cola Co. over the years.
Even as it worked to deliver stronger results in 2013, however, the company was working to beat back calls from Trian Fund Management’s Nelson Peltz to spin off its underperforming beverage unit…

Russia mocks sanctions, yet questions remain about whether more economic penalties are to come
– canadianbusiness.com
WASHINGTON – U.S. sanctions against a Russian bank and the Kremlin’s inner circle have pinched Moscow, but if the goal is to get President Vladimir Putin to roll his forces out of Crimea or prevent him from doing any more land grabs, their effectiveness remains in doubt.
Putin has mocked the punitive steps President Barack Obama has taken so far in their post-Cold War game of chess — or chicken.
He made jokes of Obama’s decision this week to freeze the assets of businessmen with close ties to Putin as well as Bank Rossiya, which provides them support. Putin quickly retaliated by slapping travel restrictions on nine U.S. officials and lawmakers, including Sen. John McCain, who quipped: “I guess this means my spring break in Siberia is off.”
More serious repercussions loom if the standoff heats up.
For now, Putin says there is no need for further Russian retaliation, yet his Foreign Ministry vowed that Moscow would “respond harshly.”
Putin claims to have no plans for further incursions into Ukraine or elsewhere in the neighbourhood…
