EXECUTIVE TRANSFORMATION EXPERIENCE

Philip Morris International

Project Summary

Philip Morris International (PMI) was undergoing a significant global transformation—shifting toward a smoke-free, consumer-centric B2C future. As part of a high-stakes executive engagement in Lausanne, Switzerland, IBM was tasked with clearly articulating this transformation to senior business and technology leaders.

I supported the sales and account teams as a Design Strategist and Creative Lead, translating a highly complex, multi-year transformation program into a clear, compelling, and immersive executive experience. The work blended strategy, storytelling, experience design, and facilitation, all delivered under tight timelines and evolving requirements.

My Role
Design Strategist & Creative Lead (Senior)

  • Embedded directly with sales, account, and solution teams

  • Translated complex operating models, roadmaps, and transformation plans into executive-ready narratives

  • Led the design and integration of all visual, experiential, and supporting materials

  • Ensured consistency of story, design language, and experience across physical and digital touchpoints

Client / Team Context
PMI’s transformation was both ambitious and complex, spanning:

  • A global B2C operating model evolution

  • Multi-year roadmaps across analytics, automation, supply chain, manufacturing, and commercial platforms

  • Numerous stakeholders across regions and disciplines

  • A live executive session with limited time, high scrutiny, and shifting agendas

The challenge wasn’t a lack of information, it was how to make that information understandable, engaging, and persuasive at the executive level.
