Biography

Mike McMullen became the third CEO in Agilent Technologies’ history on March 18, 2015, replacing William (Bill) Sullivan. McMullen brings strong leadership skills to the role, with more than 30 years of industry experience and senior management experience at Agilent. Joining Hewlett-Packard Co., Agilent's predecessor, in 1984, McMullen quickly became known as an inspiring leader who could deliver transformative business results. Most recently, McMullen was Agilent’s president and chief operating officer. Prior to that, he was president of Agilent's Chemical Analysis Group. Under his leadership, the business consistently achieved market-leading profitability. McMullen earned a bachelor's degree in economics and finance from University of Delaware and an M.B.A. from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. He is married and has two sons. McMullen becomes Agilent’s CEO as the company makes its next leap in the fast-growing life sciences, diagnostics and applied chemical markets. The company is now 100-percent focused on these markets, and McMullen is positioning the team to empower breakthroughs in human health and the quality of life. From helping our customers find cures for cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease to ensuring that the food we eat is safe and our water and air are pure — what could be more important or fundamental in life? He joined the company (then part of Hewlett-Packard) 30 years ago because it was a technology leader, it was filled with smart colleagues I could learn from — and most of all, it was a company that made a difference in the world. I thought it was an amazing place to work — and I feel even more so today.Mike McMullen became the third CEO in Agilent Technologies’ history on March 18, 2015, replacing William (Bill) Sullivan.
