There are three leaders that have influenced various aspects of the food and beverage industries. First, is CEO of Whole Foods, John Mackey. As a very successful entrepreneur, Mackey has introduced free trade economics to the US on a large scale. Having hundreds of stores around the US, Whole Foods has become a store that sells natural, organic, and free trade products to the US and around the world. Mackey is also a large advocate of animal welfare, donating about 1 millions dollars a year for animal welfare groups and organizations. Mackey has been very influential in becoming a great entrepreneur that has a social aspect to his company, allowing him to become a social entrepreneur, a trend that many entrepreneurs are now following.
Another leader in the food and beverage industries is the current CEO of PepsiCo. Being one of the most 100 influential women in the world, Indra Nooyi has a large influence in the beverage industry. Pepsi is one of the most recognized brands in the world, thanks to the leadership and managing skills of Nooyi. She has been able to continue a legacy that has lasted for many years. She has allowed the company to also prosper and take the right decisions. After selling restaurants Pizza Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell, the company focused more on offering better service in beverage rather than food.
Lastly, on a smaller level than PepsiCo is the frozen food industry. According to the American Frozen Food Association, A. Ray Walker was awarded a place in the frozen food hall of fame. This honorary role was gained by his great leadership in developing the frozen food industry in his Patterson Vegetable Company.
