Chief people officer Grant is leaving Ubisoft

Anika Grant, the chief people officer over at Ubisoft, is leaving the company later this month.

As reported by GamesIndustry.biz, a company sent to staff at the French publishing giant says that Grant is leaving later in November to pursue new opportunities. CEO Yves Guillemot said in the email that a replacement is being sought.

Grant joined Ubisoft in 2021 in the wake of some damning exposes of widespread harassment and misconduct at the company.

"Anika has been instrumental in leading the transformation of Ubisoft's human resources and talent management function since she joined the company," Ubisoft said in a statement.

"She and her team implemented consequential changes and programs that greatly contributed to fostering a safe, respectful, and inclusive working environment in which all Ubisoft team members can thrive and realise their full potential. We warmly thank her for her many contributions.

"Anika is leaving Ubisoft at the end of November to pursue new opportunities and we are working on a smooth transition over the coming weeks to prepare the appointment of a new chief people officer, whose mission will be to continue driving HR excellence at Ubisoft."
