I am delighted that Mike has been appointed as our first Chief Sustainability Officer," said Jack Bowles, CEO of British American Tobacco, in a statement. "Mike will lead us into a new era of thought leadership on sustainability. With his extensive business experience, most recently as head of investor relations group, he is well-equipped to tackle this challenge.

Similarly, Victoria has an impressive track record, both as a consumer industry stock analyst and more recently as a senior member of Mike's team. Her promotion is a testament to her energy, commitment, and drive.
