Before coming to Campbell, Mr. Armstrong served as the Senior Marketing Counsel at Energizer's Schick-Wilkinson Sword Division and as the Assistant General Counsel for Marketing at Unilever United States. He also served as a regulatory and division counsel at Colgate-Palmolive Company.  Mr. Armstrong is on the Board of Directors of the Food and Drug Law Institute in Washington, D.C., and is a frequent speaker on food law issues.  Prior to his in-house practice, Mr. Armstrong worked as an associate in commercial litigation and regulatory matters at Townley & Updike in New York City.  Before law school, he had over 12 years' experience as a journalist, including five years as an editor at The Miami Herald.  Mr. Armstrong earned his bachelor's degree from Harvard College and his law degree from Columbia University.
