Amazon.com Inc has appointed PepsiCo's India-born former chief executive officer Indra Nooyi as a director, making her the second woman to be named to the e-commerce giant's board this month. Earlier this month, the company named Starbucks Corp's chief operating officer Rosalind Brewer as a director, the second black woman to serve on its board.

Nooyi, who will be part of the audit committee of Amazon’s board, stepped down as the CEO of PepsiCo in October 2018 and as the chairman of the beverage-and-snack maker earlier this year.
