Adam Ciongoli, currently the General Counsel for Campbell Soup, is set to transition into Fox Corp.’s new Chief Legal and Policy Officer. Ciongoli is succeeding Viet Dinh, who announced his departure earlier this year. Ciongoli’s new position will have him reporting directly to Lachlan Murdoch, the Executive Chair and CEO of Fox Corp.
Starting December 1, Ciongoli is set to oversee all legal, compliance, and regulatory matters, supplemented with the responsibility of managing government affairs. This reshuffling in senior leadership comes after the significant event of the departure of top Fox executive Viet Dinh over the Dominion Settlement. More details about his departure can be found here.
Fox’s choice of Ciongoli, a seasoned professional with years of legal expertise in the corporate sector, signifies the media company’s ongoing efforts to efficiently manage its legal affairs amidst an ever-changing business environment.
