Havas Formula founder and chairman Michael Olguin announces his retirement, effective Dec. 31. Olguin founded Formula in 1992. The agency was acquired by Havas in 2014 and rebranded to Havas Formula. In January 2023, Tara Reid, CEO of Havas Formula, and Adrienne Cadena, CEO of Havas Street, took the helm of the agency when Olguin transitioned from CEO to chairman. Havas Formula currently has nearly 150 clients, six offices across the country, and a leadership team averaging a 10-plus year tenure. “One of many things Michael has instilled in us is to never rest on our laurels or become complacent,” Reid shared. “This has made Havas Formula who we are today, and we have Michael to thank for that.”
