Fox Corp. has revealed its choice for the company’s next chief legal and policy officer. General counsel of Campbell Soup Co., Adam Ciongoli, will be serving as the new legal head, succeeding Viet D. Dinh. Ciongoli’s move to Fox Corp. comes as the current top lawyer, Dinh, prepares to exit the company by year’s end. This significant shift in the media company’s legal team was announced on Wednesday.
Adam Ciongoli, while at Campbell Soup Co., has made considerable legal contributions. Now, with his impending position at a globally influential media organization like Fox Corp., the legal community will be keeping a keen eye on how this transition impacts the company’s legal and policy direction.
