Podcasts about Campbell Soup Company

Campbell Soup Company, established 155 years ago, has changed its name to Campbell's Company following a shareholder vote. This shift marks a strategic move to diversify beyond soups into more profitable sectors like snacks, which saw a 13% sales increase last year compared to soup's 3% growth. Snacks made up nearly 48% of total net sales in the last fiscal year. The Goldfish brand reached $1 billion in annual sales, matching the company's signature soup. The rebranding reflects an expanded product range, including items like Prego sauce and Goldfish crackers. Earlier this year, Campbell acquired Sovos Brands for $2.7 billion, adding Rao's sauces and Noosa's yogurt to its offerings. Campbell expects snacks to grow by 3% to 4% annually, while meals and beverages may see only 1% to 2% growth. The company aims to attract younger consumers with new spicy soup flavors and reports indicate sales may rise due to changing buying habits among this demographic. Recent financial reports show fourth-quarter earnings increased from $2.068 billion to $2.293 billion over the same period.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/ Hosted on Acast.

Starting in 1999, Larry Miller worked alongside Michael Jordan to build Nike's Jordan brand, which today generates more than $5 billion in revenue for Nike. But his journey to the C-suite was a unique one.Growing up in West Philadelphia, Miller joined a gang, which led him to serve multiple prison sentences for a series of crimes, including second-degree murder.Through a rehabilitation programme, he was able to begin his college education while in prison, and upon release, he was able to start his career with an accounting job at the Campbell Soup Company. In 1997, Miller started working for Nike under founder Phil Knight, and became the first Black vice president of apparel at the company before going on to become president of the Jordan brand in 1999.But it wasn't until years later that he went public about his backstory with the publication of his book, “Jump: My Secret Journey From the Streets to the Boardroom.”At BoF VOICES 2022, Miller sat down with UTA executive Darnell Strom to share his story, talk about the power of second chances and explain how he found redemption.“I've come to the realisation that a lot of times we are afraid to talk about the obstacles that we overcome. But in reality there's no shame in overcoming obstacles,” said Miller.Key Insights:“When I was 16, I shot a kid and he died and I was charged as an adult at 16 years old… pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, was sentenced to four and a half to 20 years,” Miller revealed at BoF VOICES 2022.Once he had revealed his story, Miller says Michael Jordan and Phil Knight were supportive and encouraged him to share his story. “It's been amazing to me the response that I've gotten from people who I've known and worked with and who have just encouraged me and embraced the fact that I've got this past.”Following the release of his book, Miller apologised to the family of Edward David White, the man he killed. In White's honour Miller created a foundation for his descendents to attend university or trade school.“I think I'm a perfect example of the fact that a person can change if given the right opportunities… the right chance. But it starts inside of you. You have to believe that you can change,” said Miller.Additional Resources:A Nike Executive Seeks a Family's Forgiveness for a 1965 Murder: The New York Times the story of the impact of Larry Miller, chairman of the Jordan Brand Advisory Board, and his actions as a 16-year-old.Jump: My Secret Journey from the Streets to the Boardroom: “Jump” written by Larry Miller and his daughter, Laila Lacy, shares the story of Miller's life from the streets of West Philadelphia to the Nike boardroom.How Larry Miller Went from Prison Valedictorian to Nike Executive: Freakonomics interviews Larry Miller on his journey from his childhood in West Philadelphia, to serving time in prison and finally to running the Jordan brand.

Did you know that the products you're using on your body can be wreaking havoc on your hormones? While it's hard to believe that conventional beauty companies would ever include toxic ingredients in their products, the fact is that they do—it's still common practice and perfectly legal. To give you an idea of where we are, consider that there are 11 cosmetic ingredients currently banned by the FDA, while in the EU, over 1,300 ingredients are banned. Companies operating in the US face much less stringent regulations than companies operating in the EU do, so US companies continue to pack the products that we use every day (mascara, face wash, conditioner, make up and more) with potentially harmful ingredients that can include known carcinogens, irritants, and endocrine disruptors.On today's episode Cody has invited special guest and expert on clean beauty, Mindy Mackenzie. Mindy currently serves as CEO of Beautycounter, a mission-driven clean beauty company. Prior to Beautycounter, she was Partner & Chief Performance Officer for The Carlyle Group, a global investment firm with over $382 billion in assets.

In this episode of Everyday Conversations on Race, I interview Roslyn Taylor O'Neill, a highly regarded diversity and inclusion thought leader. Roslyn shares her experiences as the former Chief Diversity Officer at Campbell's Soup Company and Executive VP of Diversity Initiatives for MTV Network. She has received numerous accolades and awards for her work, including being named one of the top 100 most influential Blacks in corporate America and one of the top executives in diversity, and one of most influential LGBTQ people that year. With 47 years of experience, and never backing down, no matter who challenged her, Rosalyn has a lot to say and share. You want to hear this conversation on race. In this episode of Everyday Conversations on Race, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion pioneer Rosalyn Taylor O'Neale emphasizes the importance of learning how to discuss race and navigate through discomfort in order to address racial disparities in every area.   Rosalyn acknowledges that talking about race can be uncomfortable and may cause anxiety, as people may fear making mistakes or offending others, but they are necessary in order to learn and grow. One example is the significance of discussing race with healthcare professionals. Rosalyn explains that if a doctor is not comfortable talking about race, it can create issues for patients, particularly those from racial minority groups. She mentions that rashes may appear differently on the skin of different races. Therefore, it is crucial for doctors to be aware of these differences and for patients to be able to communicate their specific needs and concerns related to race.   Rosalyn highlights the importance of discussing race in society as a whole if we want to survive. She says that in her town, seeing a Black person is still a rarity, indicating the lack of racial diversity. This lack of exposure and understanding can perpetuate stereotypes and biases. By engaging in conversations about race, individuals can challenge these stereotypes and learn from one another's experiences.   She emphasizes that it is not enough to simply listen and sympathize with someone's experiences. You must take action and support them in practical ways if you are anti-racist. Merely expressing sympathy or feeling bad for someone does not bring about any real change or alleviate their situation.   Rosalyn shares personal examples. She often felt left out in her mostly all white school, and when she was having a hard time solving a problem, no one would offer to help. However, they always helped each other and acted like they didn't see her.   If you want to be an ally in action and not just words, then ask someone  directly what they need and take steps to fulfill those needs.   Simma, mentioned a friend who noticed an older Asian woman in their building who rarely went out due to fear of attacks during the pandemic. Instead of just expressing concern, the friend offered to accompany her to the grocery store, providing practical support and reassurance.   There is power in collective action. Walking together with someone can make them feel safer and more empowered. By offering to accompany someone who feels unsafe, we can show solidarity and create a stronger sense of support. It is not enough to simply acknowledge someone's experiences; we must actively work to mitigate the situation and make them feel supported.     Time stamps: [00:02:41] Fearlessness and Belonging.

You've already met Quinton Cookis. We actually featured him a year ago on Episode 154 of the podcast. Now he's experienced one year in Corporate America. Quinton is a former USMC Logistics officer who attended the June 2022 Carrer Conference. He interviewed with 14 different hiring groups and launched his career with Campbell Soup Company as an Associate Brand Manager. When we recorded Episode 154, Quinton was preparing for his transition and participating in the DoD Skillbridge program through Cameron-Brooks. That episode focused on how he was using the Skillbridge program in order to maximize his success at the Career Conference (which is what he did.) It's been one year in Corporate America, so now is a great time to check in with Quinton. In this episode, we hear about what he's been up to since starting work in Corporate America. I think you'll really enjoy this episode because Quinton does an excellent job describing what he does as a Senior Associate Brand Manager, how his military background directly relates to much of the work he does, and how he has been able to take advantage of different circumstances that have allowed him to essentially pour jet fuel on his career. We spent time specifically digging into why he chose Campbell, what a typical day in his life looks like, the most pleasant surprise he's experienced in his one year in Corporate America, and his overall quality of life. We also discussed a disruptive event that occurred during the first three months on the job, what he did about it, and how it ultimately propelled his career.

Mark Clouse entered Campbell Soup Company in 2019 as its 14th CEO in the company's 153-year history. Recognizing the upheaval that the food industry has been undergoing for the last decade and the need for a fresh strategic direction in a rapidly evolving business landscape, Mark sought to define a new, resonant purpose that would guide the company's decisions and inspire employees, customers, and stakeholders alike.But as a long-lived company, it was vital for the purpose to evoke Campbell's legacy while shaping a new chapter of the iconic company's story.We invited Mark Clouse to share the journey behind Campbell's purpose: “Connecting people through the food they love.” Accompanied by a set of new and compelling values, the purpose has become the driving force behind the company's recent transformation – from their steadfast commitment to their hometown in Camden to its new employee value proposition. Through this lens, Campbell has embarked on a transformative journey that builds off the company's impact over the last 150+ years.Listen for C-level insights on:Being a steward for a legacy companyAbsolutes and direction for re-shaping a purposeHow purpose enables a company to simultaneously create sustainable shareholder value and better society and the environmentAI and its role in business todayResources + Links:Mark Clouse's LinkedInCampbell Soup Company's Purpose and ValuesFull Futures (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (00:13) - Campbell's (01:46) - Meet Mark Clouse (05:00) - Being a Steward (06:56) - Campbell's Purpose (10:01) - 'Through Food', Not 'To Food' (11:22) - Purpose vs. Mission vs. Vision (13:22) - Absolutes for Purpose (15:07) - The Five Cs (18:00) - Camden and Full Futures (23:24) - Volunteerism (24:12) - New Employee Value Proposition (26:30) - E, S, and G Pillars (29:14) - Accountability (30:49) - Integrating AI (32:53) - Mark's Last Word (34:36) - Wrap Up

Welcome back. As many of you know, we like to record an episode after each Career Conference capturing some of the Conference's best practices from a few of our most recent alumni. We have found that these podcast episodes help soon-to-be transitioning military officers get a good handle on what to expect and how to be as prepared as possible. This episode features three of our most recent alumni - each attending the June 2023 Career Conference. Ben Carey is a 7-year Space Force Captain who is going to go work for Campbell Soup Company as an Associate Brand Manager. Meredith Frey is a 4-year Army Logistics Captain who is going to go work for NextEra Energy as a Senior Project Manager. Jack Thompson is a 5-year Navy Cryptologic Warfare officer who is going to go work for Eurofins Scientific as a Project Manager. Each officer brought their own unique perspective to the conversation and was able to shed much light on their experience through the entire process, from the beginning of the Career Conference all the way through accepting an offer for employment. I am convinced that their insight will shape expectations and further develop the preparation plans for the officers in the Development and Preparation Program (DPP) who plan to attend a future Cameron-Brooks Career Conference. We covered a lot of ground through the conversation, essentially highlighting best practices and lessons learned from their experiences. We were able to cover some key questions, such as: What was your biggest surprise about the Career Conference? What did you do really well before the Conference that was pivotal in your preparation? Knowing what you know now, what do you wish you would have done differently to prepare for the Conference? What were some of the key criteria you used to choose the company you are going to go work for? What was the follow-up interview process like, and what was the difference between the virtual Conference in the in-person follow-up interviews? Toward the end of the podcast, I opened it up for those who attended the meeting live to ask any question of the panelist. My hope is that this podcast is helpful to you in your decision-making process and preparation for your future endeavors.

At BoF VOICES 2022, the seasoned Nike executive discussed the power of second chances and the secret he kept while building Michael Jordan's brand. Background: Starting in 1999, Larry Miller worked alongside Michael Jordan to build the Jordan brand, which does more than $5 billion in revenue. But his journey to the C-suite was a unique one. Growing up in West Philadelphia, Miller joined a gang, which led him to serve multiple prison sentences for a series of crimes, including the second-degree murder.Through a rehabilitation programme, he was able to begin his college education while in prison, and upon release, he was able to start his career with an accounting job at the Campbell Soup Company. In 1997, Miller started working for Nike under founder Phil Knight, and became the first Black vice president in apparel at the company before going on to become president of the Jordan brand in 1999. But it wasn't until years later that he went public about his backstory with the publication of his book, “Jump: My Secret Journey From the Streets to the Boardroom.” At BoF VOICES 2022, Miller sat down with UTA executive Darnell Strom to share his story, talk about the power of second chances and explain how he found redemption. “I've come to the realisation that a lot of times we are afraid to talk about the obstacles that we overcome. But in reality there's no shame in overcoming obstacles,” said Miller. Key Insights:“When I was 16, I shot a kid and he died and I was charged as an adult at 16 years old… pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, was sentenced to four and a half to 20 years,” Miller revealed at BoF VOICES 2022.Once he had revealed his story, Miller says Michael Jordan and Phil Knight were supportive and encouraged him to share his story. “It's been amazing to me the response that I've gotten from people who I've known and worked with and who have just encouraged me and embraced the fact that I've got this past.”Following the release of his book, Miller apologised to the family of Edward David White, the man he killed. In White's honour Miller created a foundation for his descendants to attend university or trade school. “I think I'm a perfect example of the fact that a person can change if given the right opportunities… the right chance. But it starts inside of you. You have to believe that you can change,” said Miller.Additional Resources:A Nike Executive Seeks a Family's Forgiveness for a 1965 Murder: The New York Times the story of the impact of Larry Miller, chairman of the Jordan Brand Advisory Board, and his actions as a 16-year-old.

In the fight to ensure we maintain livable conditions on this planet, carbon gets most of the spotlight, however water is the key ingredient that enables life on this beautiful world. And yet, according to the World Health Organization, 2 BILLION people don't have access to clean drinking water at their home. We've covered this topic in light detail with Andrea Johnson of Green Empowerment, but today on the show, I'm speaking with Neil Grimmer about water and how ensuring every person has access to clean water is a massive part of a net zero future.   Imagine you live in a desert, off the grid, and not connected to a public source of water. Instead of walking or driving miles to the neatest water source, you can use Hydropanels, to collect water out of the air right outside your house. This is one of Source Global's many projects, and the one we're going to talk about with Neil.   As co-founder and CEO of Plum Organics, Neil built one of the fastest-growing organic food brands in the U.S. and revolutionized a dormant and commoditized category. In 2013, he sold PlumOrganics to Campbell Soup Company, where he served as a senior executive for more than five years. You can keep up with Neil on LinkedIn and at https://www.source.co/.   Keep up with the show by following The Net Zero Life on Twitter and Instagram (@thenetzerolife).
