Risa joined Campbell’s in 2024 following the Sovos Brands acquisition and was named Executive Vice President and President of Meals & Beverages in February 2025.
RC: I’m passionate about food, building brands, and creating high-performing teams, and Campbell’s checks all those boxes. Our portfolio of brands is absolutely fantastic. The only thing better than our food is our people. As I continue to meet more of the team, I’m so energized by the talent and knowledge of our team and their dedication to making really, really good food.
RC: Lately, you can find me reading, cooking, and running. I try to read two classic novels per year, so right now I’m reading Ernest Hemingway’s “A Farewell to Arms.” I love running outdoors while listening to music. Fleetwood Mac, Backstreet Boys, Shaboozey, and Tate McRae have been on repeat lately!
Our new strategic plan builds on our foundation and the strength of our people, culture, and portfolio. It’s anchored around four pillars and focuses on what we need to deliver today while building for tomorrow.

Elizabeth joined Campbell’s in 2019 as the Senior Vice President of the Transformation Office, leading company strategy and was appointed Vice President and General Manager, Canada in 2021. She was named Executive Vice President and President of Snacks in May 2025.
ED: Campbell’s makes incredible food and has such amazing brands. I love that my daughter Emma lights up when we see Goldfish on shelf or share a bag of Kettle Brand Chips – coming together over our food is what Campbell’s is all about. At the end of the day, why I love working at Campbell’s is the people. Our team is talented, passionate and experts at what they do. I truly believe that people are the foundation of all we do, and everything else – our food and brands, our performance, and our culture – all stem from what great things our teams can achieve working together.
ED: Is there free time when you have little kids? We take joy in the little things – Emma and I love to do crafts together, read and we’re visiting the local kid-friendly areas in Philly, like the fantastic zoo!
