Ubisoft has tapped Charlie Guillemot as co-CEO of its new Tencent-backed subsidiary focused on core franchises including Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbox Six. And if that name sounds familiar, it's probably because he's the son of Yves Guillemot, founder and current CEO of Ubisoft proper.
Per Variety, Guillemot will lead the new Ubisoft subsidiary alongside co-CEO Christophe Derennes, a 35+ year veteran of the studio, founder of its Montreal branch, and most recently, Ubisoft North America managing director. The younger Guillemot previously looked over the Ubisoft-owned studio Owlient but joined Ubisoft's internal transformation team in 2025.
