Glen Barton

Glen Barton was destined to "bleed yel low" since he was five years old, when his father purchased the first family tractor. "At six or seven, I could drive it and do everything you could do with a farm trac tor," says Glen Barton, retired chairman and CEO of Caterpillar. "It was sort of in your blood." Barton worked at Cat for 43 years, but his interest in the industry didn't start when he joined the compa ny-it began long before that. At a young age, Barton had a fascination with the way things worked, and he taught himself about engines using an unlikely tool: a washing machine.
