He then joined Campbell Soup Company, and, over a 13-year timeframe, held leadership positions including president of both the North America and International divisions and executive vice president, the second-highest position in the company.

An innovative marketer and brand builder, Bernstock has held positions of leadership in some of the nation’s most recognizable companies. As Chairman, CEO, COO, President or General Manager, he has directed multi-national businesses including Campbell’s, Vlasic Foods International, Atlas Commerce, Inc., the Dial Corporation, Scott’s Miracle-Gro, and Securesheet Technologies.

Bernstock has served as director on nine public and private company boards, including Nutri-System Inc., The Pantry, Inc., KBL Acquisition Corp. IV, First Brands, VFI Inc., and VerticalNet.
