I realize the NYTs (not you) called her that, but I can’t imagine she prefers that. Can one imagine a man wanting to be called “Chairwoman?”

Additionally, I think it is of interest to readers that a woman (and foreign-born, to boot) heads one of the very largest US companies.

Tell the New York Times. They called her “chairman and chief executive.” It is likely that she has said she prefers to be called that. In fact, the Pepsico website refers to her that way.

Re: “said Indra K. Nooyi, PepsiCo’s chairman and chief executive.”

For our readers: Indra Nooyi is a woman (Indian) — thus, “chairwoman” or “chairperson” applies.
