Edgecombe’s appointment is effective from 8 August. He will succeed Alexander, who assumed the role of acting president of Asia Pacific following Campbell’s decision in April to move Chris Delaney into a business development role. Delaney has since left the company.
Prior to joining Campbell, Edgecombe was president of Coca-Cola Co’s South Pacific business unit.
“Gareth is a highly experienced executive with a strong background in marketing, sales and general management,” said Alexander. “His track record of building sales and equity across a range of brands will add tremendous value as we continue to focus on our three core categories for global growth: baked snacks, healthy beverages and simple meals.”
