"At Wrigley, we're big on giving consumers what they want."
As senior vice president of the Americas for the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company, Gary McCullough is responsible for the marketing, sales, finance, manufacturing, and human resources of Wrigley's chewing gum products from Canada to Argentina. That's a lot of Eclipse and Orbit, two of the successful chewing gums he has guided to the marketplace in the last two years.
McCullough enrolled in Wright State's Army ROTC program as an undergraduate. "I enjoyed the camaraderie and I learned leadership skills which have served me well professionally," he says. "It was a high-quality education." McCullough also uses his leadership skills on the national boards of Keep America Beautiful and the Association of National Advertisers, as well as the board of directors of The Sherwin Williams Company.
