No, it's not CEO and President Yves, instead it's Yvette who resigns from the publisher; replacement Fiorentino now elected...
Ubisoft has today confirmed that Marc Fiorentino has been elected to the Board of Directors following the resignation of Yvette Guillemot. Guillemot has been instrumental in guiding Ubisoft's financial strategies following the company's listing on the Paris Stock Exchange in 1996.
"I am very happy to welcome Marc Fiorentino to our board of directors," said Yves Guillemot, Ubisoft chief executive officer and Chairman of the Board. "His vision and remarkable career as an entrepreneur, coupled with his extensive experience in the financial industry, will enhance and strengthen the expertise of our board of directors. The addition of Marc Fiorentino to our roster at Ubisoft represents yet another asset for the group as it pursues an ambitious strategy of growth."
"In a growing, changing industry, Ubisoft is a true success story," said Marc Fiorentino. "Serving on Ubisoft's Board of Directors will offer me an opportunity to promote entrepreneurship in France. Yves Guillemot and his brothers along with the entire Ubisoft team have transformed a French company into an international powerhouse, and the story is just beginning!"
Final ratification of Fiorentino's appointment will be made on September 25th 2006, at Ubisoft's next Ordinary General Meeting.
