Kellogg CEO New Secretary of Commerce
President Bush made the decision Monday to make Kellogg Company CEO Carlos Gutierrez the new secretary of Commerce.
Gutierrez will replace Commerce Secretary Donald Evans, who announced his resignation shortly after Bush's re-election.
According to an Associated Press article, "The president called the 51-year-old Gutierrez, 51, a 'great American success story' and a visionary executive, who understands the world of business from the 'first rung on the ladder to the very top.'
'Carlos's family came to America from Cuba when he was a boy,' Bush said in the Roosevelt Room. 'He learned English from a bellhop in a Miami hotel and later became an American citizen. When his family eventually settled in Mexico City, Carlos took his first job for Kellogg as a truck driver, delivering Frosted Flakes to local stores.' "
