In the premier issue of Point, a new magazine (supplement) to Advertising Age, there was a cover story on Dawn Hudson, president of Pepsi-Cola North America. Through the penning of Thom Forbes, I learn Dawn is a 46-year-old wife of a stay-at-home dad and mother of two daughters. I learn that “her devotion to her children is legendary” and that she is “an exercise nut.” I learn that Dawn was not given her role at Pepsi on a silver platter, but that she earned it.

I am inspired by Dawn Hudson because of her tenacity to win, her passion to prove, and her unquenchable drive to learn.

It is remarkable to think that just two generations ago Dawn wouldn’t have even been able to vote.

Way to go Dawn. I don’t know you, but I’m sure you’re an inspiration for many.
