| Info | Carlos M. Gutierrez (originally Gutiérrez) (born November 4, 1953, in Havana, Cuba) is the Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Kellogg Company and is currently U.S. President George W. Bush's nominee for Secretary of Commerce.
His family fled Cuba for the United States in 1960 when he was six years old. Like many other Cuban refugees, they settled in Miami. Gutierrez learned English from a hotel bellhop and, some years later, he and his family acquired U.S. citizenship.
The family moved once again ? this time to Mexico, where Gutiérrez studied business administration at the Monterrey Institute of Technology's campus in Santiago de Querétaro. He joined Kellogg's in 1975 as a sales representative and management trainee. One of his early assignments included driving a delivery-truck route around local stores.
He rose through the management ranks, and in January 1990, he was promoted to corporate vice president of product development at the company's headquarters in Battle Creek, Michigan and in July of the same year, he became executive vice president of Kellogg USA. In January 1999, he was elected to the company's Board of Directors and by April, he was appointed president and CEO.
On November 29, 2004, he was chosen by President George W. Bush to be his next term's Secretary of Commerce. If approved by the Senate, he will succeed Donald Evans as Commerce Secretary. On the same day, Kellogg's Board of Directors accepted Gutierrez's resignation as Chairman of the Board and CEO, effective upon his confirmation as Secretary. The board selected James M. Jenness to succeed Gutierrez, subject to his confirmation.
