Campbell’s CEO and president Mark Clouse, who himself only joined the firm seven months ago, said: “Mick’s background and experience in leading publicly-traded and private food companies will serve Campbell well as we set the company on a course to deliver sustainable, profitable growth and create shareholder value.”
