Douglas Conant Biography :

Douglas R. Conant was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of Campbell Soup Company in January of 2001. He also was elected a Director of the company at that time. Doug is Campbell's 11th leader in the company's nearly 140 year history.

Under Doug's leadership, Campbell has made significant investments to improve product quality and packaging, strengthen the effectiveness of its marketing programs, and develop a robust innovation pipeline. The company also has improved its financial profile, enhanced its relationships with its customers, and improved its employee engagement through investments in its organization. As a result, Campbell once again has become a formidable force in the global food industry.

Campbell now is focused on Driving Quality Growth by combining the power of its icon brands, its competitive advantages in simple meals and baked snacks, and its talented people. The company seeks to build the world's most extraordinary food company by nourishing people's lives everywhere, every day. Two key goals are to achieve world class employee engagement and to deliver the best total shareowner returns over the next decade relative to peer companies.

Doug joined Campbell with 25 years of extensive food industry experience from three of the world's leading food companies: General Mills, Inc., Phillip Morris Companies, Inc. (Kraft), and Nabisco. Doug began his career in 1976 in marketing at General Mills. He then spent six years at Kraft, where he held top management positions in marketing and strategy. From 1995 to 2000, Conant was President of Nabisco Foods Company.

A native of Chicago, he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Northwestern University and his Master's degree in Business Administration from the J.L. Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern.

Doug is a Director of Applebee's International, Inc., a member of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE), a Vice Chairman and Trustee of The Conference Board, a Trustee of The Seeing Eye of New Jersey, and a Trustee of the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island.
