Talent is naturally, a key component of our model as we believe that our success as a network is directly proportional to the strength of our people. Joseph has a proven track record of being a successful leader and his extensive experience across China, Singapore and Southeast Asia will be invaluable in enhancing our creative product. I am delighted to welcome him to the team and confident that his expertise will value-add to our ongoing efforts to make Havas Group’s integrated offering resonate in the industry.”
