Former Campbell Soup Company President and Chief
Executive Officer David Johnson passed away on June 19 in
Doylestown, Pa. A native of Australia, Johnson served as Campbell's
President and CEO from 1990 until 1997 and again from March 2000 to
January 2001. Johnson also served as Chairman of the Campbell Board
of Directors from 1993 until 1999.
Denise Morrison, Campbell's President and Chief Executive
Officer, said, "We are deeply saddened by David’s passing. He was
an outstanding and charismatic leader. David's passion for Campbell
was always on display during his two tenures at the helm, and he
made a lasting impression on so many people. Our thoughts and
prayers are with David's family.”
Under Johnson's leadership, Campbell expanded its international
presence into Asia and Australia. Two of the acquisitions made
during Johnson’s tenure remain important parts of Campbell’s
portfolio, including Arnott’s biscuits and Pace sauces.
Johnson graduated from the University of Sydney with a degree in
economics and earned an MBA from the University of Chicago.
