Insights

PM sets a two‑unit P&L focus (International/U.S.) with new leadership.

PMI is separating global operations into International and U.S., elevating Frederic de Wilde to CEO PMI International and confirming Stacey Kennedy as CEO PMI U.S., both reporting to Group CEO PMI Jacek Olczak. This clarifies accountability for non‑U.S. and U.S. performance while retaining corporate and global services layers.

From January 1, 2026, segment reporting shifts to International Smoke‑Free, International Combustibles, and U.S.. This may change year‑over‑year comparability versus the current four segments, concentrating visibility on smoke‑free execution outside the U.S.

Compensation disclosure sets Mr. de Wilde’s base salary at CHF 1,250,002 (about $1,547,002). Subsequent filings may provide updated segment baselines and reclassifications under the new structure.

Item 5.02.Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On November 4, 2025, Philip Morris International Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release (the “Organizational Announcement”) describing its previously announced new corporate organizational model (the “New Organizational Model”), which is designed to enhance the Company’s agility and support its journey to becoming a smoke-free company. The New Organizational Model will be effective January 1, 2026.

New Executive Officer Designations

In connection with the New Organizational Model, on October 31, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) approved the appointment of Frederic de Wilde, President, South and Southeast Asia, Commonwealth of Independent States, Middle East and Africa Region, to the newly created position of CEO PMI International, effective January 1, 2026. Under the New Organizational Model, the Company’s geographic operating regions, with the exception of the U.S., will report to Mr. de Wilde, who will report directly to the Group CEO PMI, Jacek Olczak. Stacey Kennedy will continue to lead the Company’s U.S. business operations, which will form the Company’s other primary business unit.

Additionally, the Board approved certain title changes and designated the following individuals as the Company’s “officers” within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and “executive officers” within the meaning of Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act, effective January 1, 2026:

Also in connection with the New Organizational Model, effective January 1, 2026, the following executives will no longer be designated as “officers” or “executive officers” under, respectively, Section 16 and Rule 3b-7 of the Exchange Act, but will remain corporate officers within the organization: Massimo Andolina, President, Europe Region; Vassilis Gkatzelis, President, East Asia, Australia, and PMI Global Travel Retail Region; Mindaugas Trumpaitis, President, Combustibles Category & Global Combustibles Marketing; and Stefano Volpetti, President, Smoke-Free Products Category & Chief Consumer Officer. Each of these officers will continue with the Company in a full-time capacity and will, with the exception of Mr. Volpetti, remain in their current position.

Effective January 1, 2026, Mr. Volpetti will transition to the position of Chief Global Growth Officer – leading the new enterprise-level Global Growth function to help drive mid- to long-term growth opportunities in smoke-free, consumer wellness and new categories – and report to Mr. Olczak.









Executive Compensation Arrangements

On November 3, 2025, Mr. de Wilde entered into an Employment Agreement with Philip Morris Products S.A., the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, effective January 1, 2026 (the “de Wilde Agreement”), setting forth certain terms of his continued employment and compensation, including an increase in his annual base salary to CHF 1,250,002 (or $1,547,002).1 The de Wilde Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements, including that certain Employment Agreement between Philip Morris Services S.A. and Mr. de Wilde effective March 1, 2023.
