British American Tobacco PLC said Tuesday that it will create
two new board roles and a regional structure to streamline and
accelerate its business transformation.
The London-listed tobacco company said Johan Vandermeulen will
be appointed chief transformation officer and be responsible for
"driving faster transformation, accelerating greater capability
build in key areas and enabling an even faster, simpler and more
agile organization." Mr. Vandermeulen is currently regional
director, Europe.
Luciano Comin will be appointed to the new role of director,
combustibles, and will be in charge of "driving value from
combustibles to fuel further investment in new categories," the
company said. Mr. Comin was regional director, Americas &
Sub-Saharan Africa, and before this held senior general and
marketing management positions in Europe, Mexico and Malaysia.
Following its strategic review, the company will reduce the
number of regions to three from four and include USA, American
& Europe, and Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa.
"The changes we have announced today will drive increased focus,
accelerate our transformation and fuel growth as we strengthen the
foundations of our future as a category-led enterprise," Chief
Executive Jack Bowles said.
