You have spent over seven years at Havas Group. how has your journey been, and what were some of your major challenges?
I was thrilled to join Havas and work in an environment filled with energetic people and amazing creativity. I love the dynamic nature of the advertising industry and the fact that it’s always changing and evolving. The journey at Havas has been great as our senior management has continuously been very supportive of our talent strategy and approach.
I’d say the biggest challenge is making sure that our offering supports the growth and development of all our 20,000+ employees, as our goal is for everyone to have a meaningful work experience at Havas.
What are the core values that define the culture at Havas Group?
Collaboration is at the core of our culture and business. We have over 60 villages across the globe where our clients benefit from a broad variety of capabilities—all under one roof, with people who truly enjoy working together.
I love the fact that each village has its own unique culture and personality, but we’re all focused on one common vision: To make a meaningful difference to businesses, brands, and people.
