The Campbell’s Company announced Friday the appointment of Joshua Levine as chief investor relations officer, effective March 18. Levine will succeed Rebecca Gardy, who is retiring after a six-year tenure that included leading the company’s high-profile listing transfer to the NASDAQ.
Levine will report directly to recently appointed Chief Financial Officer Todd Cunfer, overseeing all engagement with the global investment community and spearheading shareholder communications for the Camden-based food giant.
Levine’s appointment marks a return of sorts to the Campbell’s ecosystem. Most recently, he served as vice president of investor relations and treasury at Simply Good Foods. However, his resume includes a stint as VP of investor relations at Sovos Brands—the company Campbell’s successfully acquired in 2024 for approximately $2.7 billion.
His background provides a rare “360-degree” view of the food industry, having worked as:
- A Buy-side Analyst: Covering the consumer industry for several hedge funds.
- An Equity Researcher: Covering the food sector at J.P. Morgan.
- A Corporate Leader: Managing capital markets and treasury functions.
“Josh is a highly respected investor relations leader with deep experience across finance, capital markets, and the food industry,” Cunfer said. “I am confident Josh will be a great fit for our team and will further strengthen our investor engagement.”
Levine takes the helm following a period of significant transition for Campbell’s. Outgoing officer Rebecca Gardy was credited with modernizing the company’s market visibility and strengthening its relationship with Wall Street.
“Rebecca has been an exceptional representative of Campbell’s… we thank her for all her contributions,” Cunfer added.
Levine, an MBA graduate of Cornell University’s Johnson Graduate School of Management, joins Campbell’s at a time when the company is focused on integrating recent acquisitions and navigating a shifting consumer landscape in the packaged goods sector.
