My Bottom Line: Richard Evans, PepsiCo

Richard Evans is president of PepsiCo in the UK and Ireland. He says when he is looking for future leaders he wants them to have two things: intellectual curiosity and a breadth of experience.

He says leaders are facing new challenges and he seeks to recruit people with a range of experiences and interests, who are resilient, and importantly are wired into new trends.
