PepsiCo's CEO and Chairman Indra Nooyi is joining President-elect Donald Trump's new economic advisory board, less than a month after Trump supporters began threatening to boycott Pepsi over fake news reports.
Nooyi has been named a member of the President's Strategic and Policy Forum, it was announced on Wednesday, alongside Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Travis Kalanick, chef executive of Uber.
The forum, which launched in early December, is intended to serve as a group of business leaders who advise President-elect Trump on economic matters.
In November, shortly after the election, fabricated quotes began circulating in which Nooyi told Trump supporters that the company didn't want their business, reported Snopes.
