Martin Sorrell, founder and chairman of media firm S4 Capital, believes the war in Ukraine has the potential to benefit three of America’s biggest tech firms. “I’m very bullish on the tech giants … because the war will have an impact on them,” Sorrell told CNBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos Monday.
