Commenting on the new North American organization structure,
Conant said, “We have made important progress during the past three
years, but there is much more that we can do. We must be more agile,
improve the speed of our decisions and have more integrated planning
and execution. We are determined to meet the needs of our consumers
and customers faster, better and more completely than the
competition.”

“This is especially true in our U.S. soup, sauces and beverages
businesses. We have significantly strengthened the key brands in this
portfolio through focus and innovation. To improve our organization
agility and execution, we will more effectively integrate resources
from functional areas such as supply chain, research and development,
and sales. This new structure should make Campbell more competitive
and more responsive to our customers and consumers.”

Commenting on Sarvary’s appointment, Conant continued, “Mark
Sarvary is a talented executive who is adept at managing large and
complex consumer businesses with a focus on breakthrough thinking and
innovation. He has clearly demonstrated his ability to contribute to
Campbell’s transformation. In this new role, he will provide more
operational focus on our biggest businesses and enable me and our
corporate functional leaders to focus more attention on driving our
strategic agenda. I am confident that Mark, working closely with the
presidents of our North American business units and our corporate
executive team, will help Campbell continue to build momentum in the
marketplace.”
