Kellogg Appoints New CFO

Kellogg Company announced that Fareed Khan will join the company effective February 17, 2017, and will be named as chief financial officer (CFO) and principal financial officer the day after the Company’s 10-K (n.r.-comprehensive report on a company’s financial performance) is filed.

Khan will succeed current CFO Ron Dissinger, who will remain with the company in 2017 to ensure an orderly transition.

We look forward to welcoming him to the Kellogg team.”
