Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer

Gregg Engles is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dean Foods Company (NYSE: DF), one of the nation's leading food and beverage companies with reported revenues of more than $11 billion in 2007.

The company became public in 1996 and five years later, Suiza Foods Corporation acquired Dean Foods Company and officially changed its name to Dean Foods Company. Engles was named Chairman when Howard Dean retired in April 2002.

Today, Dean Foods has more than 100 plants across the company and 150,000 customers
