While I’m sure he’s qualified, a 9 month process interviewing 100+ people for your head of strategy sounds like you’re a nightmare place to work. I want to believe they were respectful of people and let people know right away if they weren’t advancing, but in this industry, that’s too uncommon.
He founded a famous agency, made bank when he sold it, first to WME then to Accenture, served as CEO of the world's biggest holding company (more $ revenue than Publicis) and walks away rich and happy in his mid 50s. That's a pretty good end.
Feels like a beginning we’d all love to have.
Glad to see this and good for him. He sold Droga5 for nearly half a billion, so any work past that was purely sport or contractual.
A1 Yup!!!
Good for him.
The lead is being buried.. he’s still a vice chair of Accenture song.. if anything he’s gonna be more involved in the agency now I bet.
I no longer see his profile on LinkedIn. So unless I’m mistaken, I reckon he’s checked out (good timing perhaps?) Probably in Sydney overseeing the construction of his new house. They demolished the old cottage down a couple of weeks ago in preparation for the new build. He essentially paid $30 million for a small block of land.
Sure, the end, just like it was for Greg Hahn 😂
They can finally change the song to something else.
