Hear from MBA students who met with Isdell.
Isdell, who was employed by Coca-Cola for more than four decades, took the world’s largest beverage company to new heights during his tenure. He expanded on the company’s proud legacy of corporate responsibility by embedding sustainability throughout every facet of the organization and helping ensure its role as a community-connected twenty-first century enterprise. These efforts resulted in The Coca-Cola Company’s return to Fortune’s “World Most Admired Companies” list in 2006. In 2009, the company moved up to the #12 spot in the global ranking.
In addition, Isdell published Inside Coca-Cola: A CEO’s Life Story of Building the World’s Most Popular Brand, the first book written by a Coca-Cola CEO, which tells the extraordinary story of the company’s revival.
