Greg James’ time orchestrating music festivals in London was the ultimate dress rehearsal for his headlining act in New York 14 years later: revamping Havas Media in North America. Granted, likening festival planning to corporate restructuring might be a bit of a stretch, but dismissing the comparison entirely would miss the harmony. Swapping venues, sponsorships, and talent for corporate culture, structure, and services — it’s all just a different kind of orchestration for the CEO at Havas Media Network North America.
