CAMDEN, N.J. — Campbell Soup Co. announced Thursday that it had appointed a new SVP, general counsel. Adam Ciongoli, a member of Habitat for Humanity’s board of director and lecturer at Columbia Law School, will start overseeing the company’s legal arm and government relations, as well as corporate secretary activities, on July 13. 

 

“Adam brings a diverse and extensive range of experience to his role as general counsel, having practiced law in both the public and private sectors, which will be an asset as we work to reshape Campbell for future growth,” Campbell’s president and CEO Denise Morrison said. “I welcome his perspective and look forward to working with him to build on the strong foundation we have established with our legal department.”
