Dive Insight:
The announcement follows news last month that the Camden, N.J.-based Campbell achieved net sales of $2.6 billion for the first quarter of 2023, up 15% over the prior year. In a statement at the time, the company attributed the rise to “inflation-driven pricing, brand strength and continued supply recovery.”
Campbell CEO Mark Clouse said in a statement that Anderson brings “a wide range of diverse, strategic experience and financial discipline, and her expertise in capital management and deployment will help us continue to drive our growth plans and enhance our performance.”
He also touted her track record of driving transformation, delivering results and developing strong finance teams.
Anderson is set to receive an annual salary of $750,000 per year under her new role with the company, according to a Securities and Exchange Comission filing on Wednesday.
Before joining Integra, Anderson spent seven years with global manufacturer Dover Corp., including as CFO of the company’s engineered systems and printing and identification businesses, according to Campbell’s press release.
