The Campbell’s Company has announced the appointment of Todd Cunfer as executive vice president and chief financial officer, effective October 20 2025.

Cunfer, who brings over 25 years of extensive experience in the food and consumer packaged goods sectors, will report directly to president and CEO Mick Beekhuizen and will play a pivotal role on the company’s operating committee.

Beekhuizen said: “With more than two decades of food industry experience, he 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 our company."

He continued: "Moreover, his deep industry knowledge will be invaluable as we navigate the dynamic operating environment and continue executing our strategy to deliver sustainable, profitable growth”.

Cunfer joins Campbell's from Freshpet, where he served as CFO since 2022. His previous experience includes a notable tenure at Simply Good Foods Company and over two decades in various senior finance roles at The Hershey Company.
