Mark Clouse named president of Washington Commanders

The Washington Commanders added Mark Clouse as its president.

Clouse, who has served as the president and CEO of The Campbell’s Company since 2019, fills the spot last filled by Jason Wright, who will be leaving the organization after the season.

Clouse, who will officially start at the end of January, will be the president of business operations and answer directly to majority owner Josh Harris. He will not be involved in the football operations, according to a source. General manager Adam Peters is the top football person in the organization and also answers directly to Harris.

Clouse graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point — where he played basketball — and served in the Army as a helicopter pilot.

Clouse entered the business world in 1996 with Kraft Foods. He began his tenure as Campbell’s CEO in January 2019. During Clouse’s tenure, Campbell’s has partnered with NFL teams, including Washington, as well as with the Harris Blitzer Sports Entertainment — which is run in part by Josh Harris.

Earlier in his career, he spent about 16 years in marketing at The Kraft Heinz Company in the Greater Chicago Area.
