Our Corporate and Regulatory Affairs Leaders
“With decades of combined expertise across legal, regulatory, communications and external affairs, my leadership team, together with colleagues they lead globally, is united by a clear purpose: to Build a Smokeless World.
We are confident this ambition is both achievable and already underway. At the same time, we recognise that advancing Tobacco Harm Reduction depends on collaboration, not silos. When industry, scientists, policymakers and regulators follow the evidence, it enables effective, proportionate regulation, supports innovation and encourages more adult smokers, who would otherwise continue to smoke, transition to scientifically substantiated, less risky alternatives.”
