Jonathan Myers, Kellogg's Managing Director for UK and Ireland

Jonathan Myers, Kellogg's Managing Director for UK and Ireland

From selling beauty products in the UK to convincing the Chinese to buy more toothpaste, Jonathan Myers' 20 years career has seen him work on four continents helping to manage and promote some of the world's biggest brands.

Last year he took the helm of Kellogg's in the UK with an ambition to feed every family throughout the day. Jonathan has overseen a marked shake-up of the 100 year old cereal giant's product portfolio.

These changes have happened as the company has moved outside of its traditional breakfast heartland. The acquisition of Pringles in summer last year placed Kellogg's as the number two savoury snacks business in the world.

Jonathan leads the Kellogg's business in the UK and Western Europe (Benelux, Spain, Italy, France and Republic of Ireland) and lives with his wife and children in Cheshire.
