About Carlos Gutiérrez
Carlos Gutiérrez is one of the few executives to have led a Fortune 500 company and later served in a presidential Cabinet. He joined Kellogg Company as a sales representative and rose through leadership positions across Mexico, Canada, the United States and Asia before becoming CEO, at the time the only Latino CEO of a Fortune 500 company. As CEO he led the company's "volume-to-value" strategy, shifting Kellogg from growth through volume alone toward stronger brands, higher-value products, innovation and disciplined investment, a move that reshaped the portfolio and positioned the company for sustained growth.
As Secretary of Commerce he played a central role in advancing U.S. competitiveness, trade and economic policy, with deep involvement in free trade negotiations, export strategy and relationships with Latin America and Asia.
