Senior Vice President and Chief Corporate Citizenship Officer of Philip Morris International (PMI) Marian Salzman declared herself a “superfan” of Stamford at the company’s new offices only a few doors away from the city’s municipal offices.
Salzman did so at a March 4 event announcing the launch of the Women’s Economic Empowerment Initiative, which will see PMI provide $1 million each year for five years to help remove barriers to entrepreneurship for Connecticut women. The Women’s Business Development Council will help coordinate the use of the funds.
“We’re here to celebrate today two things: The Women’s Business Development Council (WBDC) and our collective potential to drive positive change,” Salzman said.
