“This role continues my path in the Data & AI space across major CPG organizations — now my third large CPG company after impactful years at Reynolds and The Coca Cola Company. Campbell’s also becomes the fifth organization over 100 years old that I’ve had the privilege to serve, following Cox, Coca-Cola, Georgia State University, and Reynolds,” Gandapodi shared in a LinkedIn post.

He brings more than two decades of experience in data analytics, data science, AI, and machine learning across various industries  and multinational companies.
