Will Campbell Soup’s (CPB, $38.65) New CEO Stir the Right Ingredients?
Campbell Soup Company is hoping to get its wining recipe from a new CEO. The packaged-food company announced Thursday that it has appointed Mark Clouse as president and CEO. Clouse has held executive positions at Pinnacle Foods (now owned by Conagra Brands) and Mondelez International.
Clouse will replace Campbell's interim CEO Keith McLoughlin, who had come in after Denise Morrison abruptly left her post as CEO in May.
Campbell Soup had been in a long-drawn battle this year with activist hedge fund Third Point, over the control of Campbell. In September, Third Point suggested replacing the entire board of Campbell. It later sued the company and accused Campbell of making boring, expensive soup. Campbell Soup shot back that Third Point’s opinions/ideas were uninformed.
Last month, Campbell and Third Point came to an agreement by increasing board from 12 to 14 members to include two out of five nominees recommended by Third Point. According to Bloomberg News, new CEO Clouse has long been the preferred choice of Third Point.
Amidst sluggish sales, Campbell Soup has been planning to sell some of its businesses such as its international line and Campbell Fresh. It wants to focus more on boosting revenues from its most popular brands. The company is probably expecting that Clouse, with his experience in packed-foods sector, would be able to bolster the turnaround strategies.
