Ubisoft Canada CEO resigns amid harassment claims made against several employees | CBC News

Yannis Mallat, the president of Ubisoft Canada, resigned Saturday evening with immediate effect, according to a statement from the game software developer.

"The recent allegation that have come to light in Canada against multiple employees make it impossible for [Mallat] to continue in this position," the statement said.

Yves Guillemot, Ubisoft's president and founder, will act as the Canadian chapter's interim president.

This is unacceptable, as toxic behaviours are in direct contrast to values on which I have never compromised — and never will," Guillemot said in the statement. "I am committed to implementing profound changes across the Company to improve and strengthen our workplace culture.".
