company’s capital structure and supported its growth and expansion.
Prior to Chobani, he was Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer for Education Management Corporation, and a
Managing Director at Goldman Sachs in the merchant banking
division.
Clouse said, “Mick’s background and experience in leading
publicly traded and private food companies will serve Campbell well

with the company. Thanks to his leadership, Campbell is in a
stronger financial position today than it was a year ago.”
