A Better TomorrowTM demands that we create new products that have the potential to improve the lives of our adult consumers.

Role at Reynolds

I have the pleasure of leading an excellent team of engineers charged with the development and deployment of innovative modern oral products for our adult tobacco consumers!

Favorite part of your job?

A favorite part of my job is reviewing a product design as a team during the development phase of a project and seeing the team ideate and execute technical solutions/improvements! This exciting work leads to my favorite part of the job, the launching of vapor products that meet the expectations of our adult tobacco consumers.

What does A Better TomorrowTM mean to you?

A Better TomorrowTM is a forward-focused mission, one that demands that we create new products that have the potential to improve the lives of our adult consumers.

Greatest career achievement (thus far)?

This is a tricky question as I have been with the company for almost 25 years and been a part of many great projects. I think that it may be my involvement with innovative technologies.
