Chris Hirst

United Kingdom

As agency leaders go, Chris Hirst is a breath of fresh air. As global CEOs responsible for more than 8000 people in 68 integrated offices across five continents go, Chris Hirst is unique. 

His bold, laser-focused and refreshingly no-nonsense approach has seen him pen a best-selling business book – fittingly, No Bullsh*t Leadership – become one of the industry’s most prominent champions within the wider business community, and, arguably most surprisingly, turn around Havas.
