I was really happy that all of you could make it today. I had one of the most amazing evenings of my life...and hope you all also had fun. It just seems like yesterday when we arrived in Thailand but when I look at my daughter and the COBO, who were not even born then-just realized how 3 years have flown away.
While a large number of people within our teams as well across functions have contributed to the success of Thai COBO, but each one of you is really special.
YOU have built this business from ground up...worked so hard...many times spending countless hours away from family, but always thinking about PepsiCo, thinking about the teams who work for us...and always creating a fun working environment. So thanks a ton for your leadership. Please also thank all team members on their amazing effort. I feel really proud to be part of this wonderful team.
I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank your family members who have been really supportive during the set up of this COBO. I know it must have been really difficult for them...so please do convey all your family members a BIG THANK YOU from myself as well as my family as we could not have reached where we have without their support.
I truly believe that we have a long runway for growth and success...so I look forward to cheering each one of you- from the sidelines though-as you and the teams achieve one success after another.
