Les Margulis Goes Native

The well-known “Uncle Les” Margulis has enjoyed a few reincarnations of late — many of them involve agency assignments or management training in far-flung places ranging from Kiev to Moscow to Johannesburg to Beirut. Les has now made his way to another important growth market-- India, where he is serving as President of RK Swamy Media Group/ Media Direction in Mumbai. He’s pictured here dressed for the Dawali holiday.

With a staff of 150 and reporting to RK Swamy Group CEO Shekar Swamy, Les' job is to move Media Direction to the next level, drive new business and make significant contributions to existing clients. Interestingly the new role may indeed be a bit of a reincarnation. Les enjoyed a 24-year career at BBDO, and was actually involved in the founding of Media Direction over a dozen years ago.
