After more than 11 years at Philip Morris International, of which 10 years were outside of Mexico City, I have made the decision to close a great professional cycle in my life.
During these past months, in which I took possibly one of the most difficult decisions in my life—since PMI puts you in a very high comfort zone on looking for other alternatives as it is an amazing employer—one of the many questions I was asked was if I was thinking of putting PMI completely on a side and selling my PMI stocks, to which my answer was a resounding NO.
I share this because behind this resounding response is what it really meant to work at PMI all these years.
PMI is the first company where I can say that I had great mentors who opened my perspective multiple times; leaders who challenged and made me uncomfortable to bring out in me what I never imagined I had; colleagues who showed me the true meaning of the power of teamwork, leaving me with great memories of overcoming challenges and achieving triumphs; and best of all, FRIENDS.
I was always a person who thought that we are hired to work and not to make friends; PMI changed this, and it changed due to the amazing quality of people that this company has. Innovative, always willing to help, competitive, who constantly challenge the status quo, inclusive, risk-takers, caring; among many other things.
All great companies offer you growth, benefits, recognition, experiences, but until now, I had not experienced being in an organisation that marked me for the value of its people.
That said, the resounding NO to this question is because I know that this group of people will not only achieve the long-awaited smoke-free future, but because they will make Philip Morris International reach places that no one ever thought a tobacco product company would reach.
My bet remains and will continue to be on PMI and its people. #smokefree #MakeHistory #businesstransformation
My next job chapter will definitely be in a company that is constantly evolving and adapting, that has a culture of trust in which employees feel safe to be themselves; but above all, that has a high quality of talent that will allow me to reach into my best professional and personal version while sharing all the learned experiences in these 11 magnificent years and 25+ years of career.
