“Vivint has moved video doorbell cameras beyond awareness to deterrence,” said Jim Nye, chief product officer at Vivint. “During a time when online shopping has increased dramatically, the Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro can protect an increasing number of deliveries with a combination of intelligence, optics and deterrent features. Vivint is providing homeowners with peace of mind by helping to prevent crime before it happens.”

The camera’s Smart Deter analytics will intelligently detect a package and actively monitor your porch to keep it safe. If someone attempts to steal your delivery, Smart Deter will activate the camera’s deterrent features—a red LED light ring and a warning tone to alert the person that they have been spotted. This also triggers a notification to your smartphone.

IoT Breakthrough recognizes the innovators, leaders and visionaries from around the globe in a range of IoT categories, including industrial and enterprise IoT, smart city technology, connected home and home automation, connected car and many more. This year’s program attracted more than 3,850 nominations from companies all over the world.

“Vivint is a pioneering innovator in the smart home space and their Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro continues their path of innovation, standing as the industry’s first video doorbell with analytics advanced enough to accurately detect packages and then proactively protect them,” said James Johnson, managing director at IoT Breakthrough. “Providing families with peace of mind by helping prevent crime before it happens certainly represents a true industry ‘breakthrough’ and this technology has never been more important for keeping people and their deliveries safe. We extend our congratulations to Vivint for winning our ‘Connected Home Camera Product of the Year’ award.”

The Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro works as a standalone product, or as part of an integrated Vivint system, which can include smart locks, lights, thermostats, indoor and outdoor cameras, garage door control, security sensors, car protection and more. With a Vivint system, you can control your entire home with a single top-rated app. You can use the Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro for two-way communication with visitors, with the ability to unlock the door for them or open the garage to receive deliveries, all from the same interface.

Underscoring Critical Role of Science in a Smoke-Free Future, Philip Morris International Brings on Former Sanofi Exec as Chief Life Sciences Officer

Underscoring Critical Role of Science in a Smoke-Free Future, Philip Morris International Brings on Former Sanofi Exec as Chief Life Sciences Officer

LAUSANNE, Switzerland–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Philip Morris International Inc. (PMI) (NYSE: PM) today announced the appointment of Jorge Insuasty to the position of Chief Life Sciences Officer, effective Jan. 15, 2021. Mr. Insuasty will report to the company’s CEO, André Calantzopoulos.

“Jorge’s wealth of experience across both the pharmaceutical and consumer healthcare industries makes him the ideal candidate to succeed John O’Mullane, who is retiring,” said Calantzopoulos. “Jorge is a transformational leader in science and medicine and excels in driving product portfolio development through to market success. Science and a consumer-focused product portfolio are the cornerstones of our ambition to replace cigarettes with products that are a better choice than continued smoking. Jorge’s impressive track record will help ensure we reach our goals and take full advantage of adjacent revenue-generating opportunities.”

Mr. Insuasty joins PMI from Sanofi S.A., where most recently he was the Global Franchise Head of Immunology, Oncology, and Neurology for Sanofi Genzyme. During his nine-year tenure at Sanofi he led the company’s product pipeline strategy, from candidate selection through the development and regulatory review processes, with a dozen novel drugs approved. He orchestrated significant transformational change within the R&D and commercial functions to substantially increase speed and efficiency, fostered external collaboration and innovation, and was highly engaged with the investor community. Overall, he played a pivotal role in the turnaround of Sanofi’s R&D efforts.

Prior to Sanofi, Mr. Insuasty spent eight years at Novartis International AG as Global Head of Development, Neuroscience, and Ophthalmology. Before that, he was VP, Research and Development, Consumer Medicines at Bristol Myers Squibb. Mr. Insuasty holds an MD in cardiology from the University of Paris.

“I am very excited to join PMI,” said Insuasty. “The company’s transformation, and smoke-free vision represent a tremendous public health opportunity and a business challenge, both of which I will be thrilled to contribute toward. And I also look forward to developing adjacent future growth drivers.”

This appointment follows the recent announcement that John O’Mullane, PMI’s current Chief Life Sciences Officer, will retire.

“We thank John for the enormous contributions he has made these last two years, driving innovation and rigor into our life sciences function, and we wish him well in his retirement,” added Calantzopoulos.

Philip Morris International: Delivering a Smoke-Free Future

Philip Morris International (PMI) is leading a transformation in the tobacco industry to create a smoke-free future and ultimately replace cigarettes with smoke-free products to the benefit of adults who would otherwise continue to smoke, society, the company, and its shareholders. PMI is a leading international tobacco company engaged in the manufacture and sale of cigarettes, as well as smoke-free products and associated electronic devices and accessories, and other nicotine-containing products in markets outside the U.S. In addition, PMI ships a version of its IQOS Platform 1 device and its consumables to Altria Group, Inc. for sale under license in the U.S., where the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized their marketing as a modified risk tobacco product (MRTP), finding that an exposure modification order for these products is appropriate to promote the public health. PMI is building a future on a new category of smoke-free products that, while not risk-free, are a much better choice than continuing to smoke. Through multidisciplinary capabilities in product development, state-of-the-art facilities, and scientific substantiation, PMI aims to ensure that its smoke-free products meet adult consumer preferences and rigorous regulatory requirements. PMI’s smoke-free product portfolio includes heat-not-burn and nicotine-containing vapor products. As of Sept. 30, 2020, PMI estimates that approximately 11.7 million adult smokers around the world have already stopped smoking and switched to PMI’s heat-not-burn product, available for sale in 61 markets in key cities or nationwide under the IQOS brand.

As a mom who knows a thing or two about juggling work and home life with three kids, Hart understands why moms deserve a reward for all the extra things they have on their plates right now.

“My kids and I have always loved Lunchables. They get a super tasty lunch, and I save time making a whole meal,” says Melissa Joan Hart. “When I learned about the new rewards program from Lunchables that helps parents through such a crazy year, I was so excited to team up with them! I’m already adding multiple Lunchables to my shopping cart, and now, I can get rewarded for it!”

The 2021 Financial Fitness Fridays program will be conducted through virtual seminars during the second half of January. Anyone can join, regardless of whether they have a Regions account, and there is no cost to participate. This year’s focus for Financial Fitness Fridays: credit.

From buying a home to making other major purchases or reaching other financial goals, having good credit is essential. And it’s within reach. Financial Fitness Fridays is designed to help people understand the value of strong credit to their overall financial health while building their credit score over time.

“As we begin a new year and prioritize our financial goals, now is a perfect time for people to connect with Regions professionals who offer free guidance and tools designed to help people better understand, use and improve their credit,” said Jason Epstein, consumer performance executive for Regions Bank. “Through Financial Fitness Fridays, our team delivers resources people need to get started on reaching their financial goals. It is part of our year-round commitment to advancing financial wellness in the communities we serve.”

The first Financial Fitness Fridays virtual seminar that’s open to the public will be held at 8:30 a.m. CT on Friday, Jan. 22. Regions Financial Wellness Relationship Manager Shalonda Tillman will discuss practical ways to build a strong credit report while showing how having good credit is an attainable goal that benefits overall financial health. Anyone can sign up to participate at this link.

Another opportunity to learn about credit reports will be offered on Friday, Jan. 29. Regions Financial Wellness Relationship Manager Alicia Somers will offer insights beginning at 11:30 a.m. CT. This session is open to the public as well; anyone can sign up at this link.

Beyond the practical steps provided through these virtual seminars, the events also serve to give people a personal connection with Regions professionals who can help with customized, one-on-one follow-ups and individual questions.

Financial Fitness Fridays complements Regions’ year-round Next Step financial wellness program. The bank offers consistently updated financial education online through the Next Step Financial Learning Center on regions.com. Earlier this month, Next Step released the results of a survey that showed saving more and spending less are the most important financial resolutions this year. Like Financial Fitness Fridays, Next Step articles, virtual seminars, podcasts, budgeting calculators, checklists and more are available for free to anyone.

Additionally, Regions shares financial guidance through the @RegionsNews Twitter handle and the bank’s news website, regions.doingmoretoday.com. Video content is available through the Regions Financial YouTube channel.
