Mumbrellacast Interview: A female led future at Havas Group Australia
In this week’s Mumbrellacast interview, Calum Jaspan speaks to Havas Group Australia’s leadership trio, Laura Aldington of Host/Havas, Simone Gupta of Havas PR (One Green Bean and Red Havas) and Virginia Hyland of Havas Media about the indie mindset in the group, better pathways into the industry and the unique position Havas holds.
In what is a relatively new leadership lineup, Havas Group Australia’s Virginia Hyland, Simone Gupta and Laura Aldington appear to have already found a balance across the Havas Village.
Each of the three feature on the Mumbrellacast this week, speaking about the work that still needs to be done to further diversity and inclusion across the industry, and while this area might be more nuanced than some suggest, it goes further than just getting people into the industry, it needs to be the right industry when they arrive.
“It’s not just about representation, it’s about creating the necessary cultural changes in our businesses to make sure that those people, once they enter the industry feel included and welcomed,” says Aldington, CEO of Host/Havas.
