Rishad seems to be everywhere these days, and we’re not just talking about his travel schedule – although 140 flights in 2008 alone has to be some sort of record, right? This month we find Rishad on the pages of his home country’s most popular daily newspaper, The Economic Times. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the pub or its massive reach, it equates to India’s version of the Wall Street Journal and ranks as one of the top financial dailies in the world.

While this photo may more closely resemble an enraged Christian Bale, as seen in “American Psycho,” this is actually a telling college photo of our good friend and colleague Tim Harris, who has recently re-joined the ranks of Denuo as senior vice president.

While no stranger to the agency – he was one of the founders after all – Tim will focus on the development and promotion of new Denuo products and services. He will also work with Denuo clients to help them better understand and interpret the changing, modern marketplace.

As a founding member of Denuo, Tim helped build our unique plug-and-play operating model that allows us to openly collaborate with the best talent and agency resources around. He also co-founded the agency’s best-in-class gaming expertise when he launched the once standalone unit Play, the industry’s first and most recognized agency unit dedicated to leveraging videogames as a consumer contact medium.

I’m guessing to say we’re glad to have him back is an understatement. Here’s a look at what some of his Denuo colleagues are saying about him and his return:

Congratulations are in order for our fearless leader, Rishad Tobaccowala. This week at ad:tech San Francisco, Rishad received an Industry Achievement Award for his outstanding contributions to the industry and his ability to inspire, and re-inspire, the masses.

Fellow recipients of this prestigious award were Coca-Cola’s VP of Global Interactive Marketing Carol Kruse and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia’s former President, Media and Co-CEO Wenda Harris Millard (who announced Tuesday that she has moved to MediaLink to serve as president).
