As CEO, he oversaw one of the world’s leading product portfolios in both combustible and smoke-free products, cultivated an outstanding management team, and built a high-performing, fast-learning organization. Mr. Calantzopoulos was appointed CEO and elected to the Board of Directors on May 8, 2013, and served as CEO until May 5, 2021. Prior to this, he was the company’s Chief Operating Officer following PMI’s spin-off from Altria Group, Inc. on March 28, 2008. He was PMI’s President and CEO from 2002 until the spin-off. After joining the company in 1985, he worked extensively across Central Europe, including as Managing Director of PM Poland and President of the Eastern European Region.
