'his boss' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'he has publicity consultant as' is the wordplay.
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'publicity' becomes 'ad' (short for advert).
'consultant as' becomes 'man' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'he'+'ad'+'man'='HEAD-MAN'
