Connections: Indra Nooyi Joins Amazon’s Board of Directors.

Some good news for Connecticut and Ned Lamont. Indra Nooyi, co-chair of the Connecticut Economic Resource Center, is Amazon’s newest board member, according to CNBC. That ought out to provide some serious opportunities for Connecticut officials to get to the right people at one of the world’s most dynamic corporations. Connecticut has already provided Amazon a warm welcome in Windsor and Wallingford. Lamont would like the market innovator to do more here now that it’s been chased out of New York.

Nooyi, former head of PepsiCo, lives in Greenwich.
