In April 1970, he became president of Johnson & Johnson Worldwide. He Became Johnson & Johnson's chairman of the board and chief executive office in 1973, becoming the second person from outside the Johnson family to lead the firm.Sellars convinced the firm's board to remain in the urban confines of New Brunswick, rather than move to the suburbs, and worked as part of the New Brunswick Development Corporation to help revitalize the city.
