MONTREAL, July 10,
2024 /CNW/ - Ubisoft is pleased to announce the
appointment of Pierre-Jules Tremblay
as the managing director of Ubisoft Montréal. He succeeds
Christophe Derennes, who now holds the position of managing
director for North America.
Pierre-Jules Tremblay holds an
engineering degree from McGill
University and a master's degree in artificial vision. His
journey in the gaming industry began in 2004 when he transitioned
from founding an AI-focused startup to joining key positions at
Quazal Technologies, Behaviour Interactive, and Ubisoft. Over the
past 13 years, he has played an integral role in the company,
contributing to the introduction of the free-to-play model with the
Mighty Quest for Epic Loot (PC) in 2011 and leading the
studio's transition to the games-as-a-service model in 2014. His
team has been instrumental in supporting games like Rainbow Six
Siege and For Honor.
"Ubisoft Montréal has always held a special place in my heart.
Not only is it one of the largest video game studios in the world,
but it's also a pioneer in our industry. We're the birthplace of
some of the most iconic video game brands and a hub for
cutting-edge technologies. Leading this studio, which plays a
crucial role in Ubisoft's ecosystem and our industry, is a
challenge that I embrace with unwavering enthusiasm and humility.
I'd also like to take a moment to express my gratitude to
Christophe Derennes for his trust. His leadership has propelled
Ubisoft Montréal forward, and I'm honoured to continue this
exciting journey with the support of our management team." –
Pierre-Jules Tremblay, managing
director, Ubisoft Montréal.
"When I met with Pierre-Jules, I was impressed by his vision for
the studio's growth and future. His passion for the projects we
develop here and the people who contribute to them is evident. It
was important to me that my successor in this key role at Ubisoft
be a trusted leader who can chart a course toward our goals while
inspiring and rallying everyone around him. Pierre-Jules embodies
these qualities. With his people skills, collaborative approach,
and extensive experience at Ubisoft, in our industry, and with new
technologies, he's the ideal person to continue our exciting
journey that began back in 1997. I wish him every success in his
new role." - Christophe Derennes, managing director, North America.
