Veteran finance leader joins from Freshpet to support Campbell’s growth and transformation strategy

The Campbell’s Company has named Todd Cunfer as its new Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective October 20, 2025. Cunfer will report directly to President and CEO Mick Beekhuizen and serve on the company’s operating committee, playing a central role in advancing Campbell’s strategic and financial agenda.

Cunfer brings more than 25 years of experience in the food and consumer packaged goods sectors, with a track record of driving performance and financial transformation across leading U.S. brands.

Deep Food Industry Expertise

Cunfer joins Campbell’s from Freshpet, where he served as Chief Financial Officer since 2022, overseeing a period of significant growth and operational scaling. Prior to that, he held senior financial leadership roles at The Simply Good Foods Company and spent over two decades at The Hershey Company, gaining deep expertise across finance, operations, and commercial strategy.

Beekhuizen said in a statement:

“With more than two decades of food industry experience, Todd brings the expertise and perspective we need at this moment. His proven ability to drive change and deliver superior financial results as a strong business partner will be a tremendous asset to Campbell’s.”

He added:

“His deep industry knowledge will be invaluable as we navigate a dynamic operating environment and continue executing our strategy to deliver sustainable, profitable growth.”

Strengthening Campbell’s Strategic Capabilities

In his new role, Cunfer will oversee all aspects of Campbell’s financial management, including corporate financial planning and analysis, investor relations, treasury, and internal audit. His appointment comes as Campbell’s continues to enhance operational efficiency and expand its presence in an increasingly competitive food and beverage landscape.

Cunfer succeeds Carrie Anderson, who is departing the company to pursue new opportunities. Beekhuizen expressed appreciation for her leadership:

“I want to thank Carrie for her contributions to Campbell’s. We wish her the absolute best in her future endeavours.”

Positioned for Growth in a Dynamic Market

The leadership transition follows a period of strong performance for the 155-year-old company. Campbell’s reported net sales of $10.3 billion in fiscal 2025, supported by a diversified portfolio of 16 leading brands, including Campbell’s, Pepperidge Farm, and V8.

Cunfer’s appointment signals Campbell’s commitment to reinforcing financial discipline and agility as it invests in brand innovation, manufacturing modernization, and market expansion across North America.
