    Hélène Daubert Joins BETC & POP As VP Create

    Friday, June 13, 2025

    Hélène Daubert, an industry veteran known for her lengthy tenure at production company Division, has joined BETC & POP (Havas group) as VP Create.

It’s a mission at the crossroads of strategy, execution, and innovation.

    In her new capacity, Daubert additionally joins the Executive Committee of BETC and POP France.

Her vision, her high standards, and her experience will fuel POP’s transformation and enable us to offer even more accurate... Read More
