The White House on Monday will name former Procter & Gamble CEO Robert McDonald secretary of Veterans Affairs, according to a senior official.


'McDonald's personal and professional history make him the perfect person to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs during this important time,' the administration official told Reuters.


McDonald retired from Procter & Gamble last June, ending a 33-year career that began with entry level position in brand marketing, and ended with him in charge of 120,000 employees in 180 countries. Described by his colleagues as a 'master at complex operations,' the White House said, McDonald is also a West Point graduate and decorated former Army Captain. His father fought in World War II, and his Uncle, a Vietnam veteran, still receives care through the VA.
