LaMothe enabled Kellogg to capitalize on the health food consciousness of the 80’s by introducing new products, and, in so doing, he continued Kellogg’s 41-year run of increased sales. He is credited with dramatically expanding Kellogg’s international operations – moving international sales from less than 30% of revenues to over 50% by 1990.
