What drives you? Why do you love your job?
The effervescence in my role mirrors the fervor I possess for unraveling organizational complexities. What truly invigorates me is the perpetual journey of discovery; each day presents an enigma, a challenge that beckons innovative solutions and strategic thinking. My passion lies in bridging the gap between data-driven insights and human intuition within the realm of People Analytics. The excitement of crafting novel solutions and the tangible impact they forge on an organization's health and growth is deeply gratifying.

Philip Morris International (PMI) is one of the world’s leading tobacco companies, with a global workforce of 79,800. Headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut and listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: PM), at PMI, we are building our future on replacing cigarettes with smoke-free products that—while not risk-free—are a better alternative than cigarette smoking. PMI’s current product portfolio primarily consists of cigarettes and smoke-free products, including heated tobacco, e-vapor, and oral smokeless products. In 2022, almost 35 percent of PMI’s total net revenues came from our smoke-free products. By 2030, PMI’s ambition is to increase that figure to over two-thirds, with the ultimate goal of phasing out cigarettes completely. Leveraging our scientific expertise and technological capabilities, we are also committed to developing new products in the wellness and healthcare space.
