BACK NEXT 42 of 50
42. Dawn Hudson
CEO and President, Pepsi-Cola North America, PepsiCo (PEP)
2005 rank: 41
Age: 48
Hudson's $5.5 billion portfolio includes Pepsi, Aquafina, and Lipton. Since new CEO Indra Nooyi named John Compton CEO for North America in mid-September, though, Hudson no longer reports directly to the top. Headhunters, who rate her highly, say she could land a big marketing or media gig elsewhere.
