the Wall Street Journal Europe.
Arredondo joined Yahoo! from the BBC, where she was Director of
International Distribution responsible for their international
television program licensing business in the Americas, Asia Pacific
and Europe, a member of BBC Worldwide’s Executive Board and an
Executive Board Director of its European Channel Management Board,
which oversaw the BBC World and BBC Prime channels in Europe.
Before joining the BBC, she was at BMG Entertainment, the music and

the Director of Strategic Planning and then Regional Vice President
of International A&R and Marketing across Spain, Portugal and
Latin America.
“We are excited to welcome Fabiola to Campbell’s Board of
Directors,” said Les Vinney, Chairman of the Board. “Fabiola is a
dynamic executive who has had a distinguished career in the
technology and media industries. She brings a wealth of operational
and board experience across the digital ecosystem, including
business model transformations and developing e-commerce
distribution networks in response to the shifting consumer
landscape. Her knowledge and insight will be invaluable to
Campbell’s Board, management team and shareholders.”
Arredondo, a fluent Spanish speaker, earned a Bachelor of Arts
from Stanford University and a Masters of Business Administration
from Harvard Business School. Arredondo has also been a term member
of the U.S. Council on Foreign Relations and the World Economic
Forum.
With Arredondo’s election, Campbell’s Board of Directors will
