    General Mills board of directors has elected Jeffrey Harmening as CEO effective June 1, 2017. The board also elected Mr. Harmening to the General Mills Board of Directors. A 23-year veteran of the company, Mr. Harmening has served as president and COO since July 1, 2016. He succeeds Ken Powell, who has served as General Mills chairman and CEO since 2007. Mr. Powell will continue to serve as the company's chairman for a transition period until his retirement, expected within the next year. 
     
    "General Mills has a long tradition of delivering top-tier returns that our shareholders have counted on for generations," said Mr. Powell. "We are focused on growth and feel strongly that Jeff is the right leader for the next leg of our journey."
     
    R. Kerry Clark, independent lead director of the General Mills Board added, "Under Ken's leadership as CEO, the company made significant strides to expand globally, developed a culture of Holistic Margin Management, and redoubled its focus on meeting the ever-changing needs of consumers. These achievements have resulted in outstanding value creation for General Mills shareholders, including 11% compound annual total shareholder returns."
     
    "A key responsibility of a board is leading a thoughtful, robust succession planning process," Mr. Clark continued. "The board unanimously cast its vote for Jeff as the best candidate to lead this venerable 150-year-old company. Jeff knows how to build talented teams and has extensive experience both in the U.S. and globally. He is not afraid to challenge the status quo and he is a tenacious and resilient leader."
     
    During Mr. Harmening's leadership of the U.S. retail business, the company greatly expanded its position in the natural and organic segment, including the acquisition of Annie's and EPIC Provisions, making General Mills currently the fourth largest maker of natural and organic foods in the U.S. While president of the company's U.S. cereal business, Mr. Harmening led a realignment of the portfolio that resulted in multiple years of growth in sales, market share and profitability. As CEO of Cereal Partners Worldwide (CPW), the joint venture with Nestlé based in Switzerland that markets cereal in 130 countries, Mr. Harmening oversaw a reorganization of the company that positioned the business to deliver long-term profitable growth. 
     
    "I am honored to take the helm of General Mills at such an important point in its history," said Mr. Harmening. "Building on the legacy of those that have led this great company before me is an exciting challenge and one I do not take on alone. General Mills' employees are singularly focused on driving growth and returns for the long term, and it will be a privilege to help them reach that goal." 
     
    Mr. Harmening joined General Mills in 1994 and has served in a variety of roles including senior vice president, CEO of CPW. He has served as executive vice president, COO, U.S. retail, vice president and senior vice president of the Big G cereal division, and a variety of marketing roles in Betty Crocker, Yoplait, Foodservice, and Big G new enterprises.
     
    He holds a bachelor's degree from DePauw University and an MBA from Harvard, and is on the board of trustees for DePauw University.
