Tweetable Highlights: @KelloggCompany welcomes Erica L. Mann, Roderick D. Gillum to Board of Directors
Important to helping Kellogg deliver on the emerging consumer need for progressive nutrition, Mann brings deep global
expertise having previously served as President and General Manager of Pfizer Nutrition, and President and Head of Bayer's
Consumer Health Division.
A native of South Africa and an Australian citizen, Mann served as Senior Vice President of
Nutrition at Wyeth. She also has significant experience at other Fortune 500 companies, including Ely
Lily & Company and Johnson & Johnson, and has held leadership positions in South
Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Switzerland and the United
States.
"We are delighted to welcome Erica to our board of directors," said Steve Cahillane, Chairman
and CEO of Kellogg Company. "Her long track record of success in nutrition and health, combined with her knowledge of key global
markets, will be of great value to our company."
A Detroit native, Gillum was previously a senior leader at General Motors Co., where he rose
to become secretary to the General Motors board of directors, and later Vice President, Corporate Responsibility and Diversity.
Prior to that, he was Chief Personnel, Benefits and Labor Attorney at General Motors and was the former Chairman of the General
Motors Foundation. As a co-leader of the Public Policy Center, based in North America,
Europe, Asia, and Latin
America, Gillum developed and coordinated global policy positions on safety, trade and government relations. He is
currently a principal in the Detroit office of Jackson Lewis Law Firm.
Gillum has been a trustee of W.K. Kellogg Foundation since January 2007. He also previously
served as board chair in 2012-2013 and more recently as co-trustee of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation Trust.
A lawyer by trade, Gillum has earned a national reputation for corporate diversity and public interest initiatives – both of
which are critical to Kellogg's ability to develop people as its competitive advantage and live the values of the company's
founder, W.K. Kellogg. He is joining the Board as we prepare for an upcoming retirement.
"Rod is a natural fit to join our board of directors," Cahillane said. "He's been instrumental in helping direct W.K. Kellogg
Foundation's important work with children in communities around the world and his perspective on how corporate-led initiatives
can help shape effective and engaged workforces will be extremely beneficial."
