Philip Morris Limited (PML) has appointed Iain Levy to the role of Head of Field Force.
Levy will be working directly with PML’s customers in the convenience and vape channels, developing a pipeline of dedicated retail activations that support the channel’s consumer needs, particularly in the face of the upcoming Tobacco and Vapes legislation.
He began his journey at PML as a Regional Area Manager in 2014 and was most recently National Vape Manager. His expertise saw him rise to the position of Commercial Manager for Ireland, before moving back to the UK, where he successfully expanded the market’s multi-category portfolio of smoke-free alternatives, replacing cigarettes with alternatives like the IQOS heat-not-burn system.
Prior to PML, Levy held senior positions at Coca-Cola Enterprises, Allied Bakeries and Brakes Group.
He assumes the role from Cem Uzundal, who was recently named PMI’s Head of Commercial Operations EU Region.
Iain Levy commented: “The convenience channel has always been close to my heart. As Head of Field Force, driving on-the-ground support and success for retailers will be a vital component in ensuring a strong commercial path for businesses nationally, as well as driving new commercial avenues across our multi-category smoke-free portfolio.”
