· high confidence. Wikipedia gives joining Kellogg's in Mexico in 1975 (at 22), election to the board in January 1999, appointment as president and CEO in April 1999, and a resignation as chairman and CEO effective on his February 7, 2005 swearing-in. A Fox News bio says he has been 'chairman of the board of Kellogg Company since April 2000 and chief executive officer since April 1999', and an SVLG bio also dates the chairmanship to April 2000. His exact age at hiring is not firmly established (21 or 22 from a November 1953 birth), so the profile says only 'early twenties'.
