Consumer & Industrial, a $12+ billion global business that employs 49,000 employees around the world in more than 100 locations, is an industry leader in major appliance and lighting products, and in integrated electrical distribution equipment and systems. Campbell joined GE in 1981 as a sales/marketing trainee for the Northeast Region of GE Appliances.

He was appointed vice president of Sales and Marketing and a GE Company Officer in 1999 and two years later was named president and chief executive officer of GE Appliances. In September 2002, when GE merged its appliances and lighting businesses, he assumed the role of president and chief executive officer of GE Consumer Products. Following the merger of GE Consumer Products and GE Industrial Systems in January 2004, Campbell became president and chief executive officer of GE Consumer & Industrial-Americas, a $9 billion division. In that role he directed the manufacture, marketing and sale of appliances, lighting and industrial products across North and South America.
