Prior to this promotion, Mackay had been executive vice president of Kellogg and president of Kellogg USA, in charge of the company’s US division since 2000.
“With major structural changes and the Keebler integration largely behind us, we are now focused on executing our strategy. The chief operating officer position assumes responsibility for day-to-day operations of our businesses worldwide, allowing me to focus on broader strategic issues and our goal of long-term sustainable growth,” said Gutierrez.
Separately, Kellogg announced that Janet Kelly, executive vice president, corporate development and administration, general counsel, and secretary, has decided to leave the company.
