Today, Ubisoft’s Board of Directors co-opted Belén Essioux-Trujillo as a new independent Director, following a recommendation from the Board’s Nomination, Compensation and Governance Committee. She replaces Virginie Haas, who resigned following her appointment as Ubisoft’s Chief Studios Operating Officer.
The ratification of Belén Essioux-Trujillo’s appointment will be proposed at Ubisoft’s next annual general shareholder meeting. If confirmed, she will serve for the remainder of Mrs. Haas’ original term, which lasts until the 2023 annual general shareholder meeting.
Belén Essioux-Trujillo is currently Head of Human Resources for L’Oreal’s Professional Products division. Throughout her career, she has held several senior HR positions in leading global companies, including PSA Group, Danone, and Hermès. Between 2012 and 2016, she served as Group Head of Human Resources and was a member of the Executive Committee at Kering.
“Belen will bring to Ubisoft’s Board the solid operational experience and perspective that she has developed in large international companies, where she has successfully contributed to their teams’ growth and nurturing of talent,” said Yves Guillemot, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of Ubisoft. “As an authority in human resources, she will provide the Board with sharp, expert views and direction on related topics, which are of paramount importance to Ubisoft. “Finally, the Board reaffirms its commitment to have a majority of independent Directors by the next annual general meeting, subject to shareholder approval.”
Yves Guillemot concluded,
“On behalf of Ubisoft’s Board of Directors, I offer our warmest thanks to Virginie Haas for her contribution to the work of the Board over the last three years.”
