Gaming platforms such as Ubisoft and Steam have been dominating the market at the moment. As the industry grows, the companies should keep up with the customer's expectations.
For this part, it's important that a CEO needs to step up and take charge of shaping the industry to its better form. For today, we will discuss how Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot contributed to the gaming industry through his company.
Who is Yves Guillemot?
As an overview, Yves Guillemot is the current chief executive officer of Ubisoft, a known video game firm based in France. According to the European CEO site, Guillemot has already set his mind on being a leader in the computer industry at a very young age.
Building a company is not easy. That's why he sought help from his brothers to create Ubisoft in 1986. He envisioned establishing their own brand that will house original content ever since.
Per Crunchbase, Guillemot has been thinking of being successful in innovation for his venture. By setting his goals in life, he committed to creating something that people could remember in the gaming industry.
For years, Yves has become one of the leaders when it comes to game development. Ubisoft has turned into a huge opportunity for those who want to access game libraries.
His tenure has been memorable so far since there are a lot of blockbuster titles that were released at that time. "Tom Clancy's The Division" has had a successful run following its excellent achievements throughout the years.
The three decades for Ubisoft had put the company at the zenith of the entertainment market. It became a global leader in gaming and publishing. Yves managed to defy all the odds that the company had faced in the past.

According to Ubisoft, co-founder Yves shared his visionary outlines for the whole industry in the Game Makers podcast. According to him, his brothers have been longing to create and distribute unique titles to the public.
"That's what we wanted to do. But even at that time, it was costly to create games," Guillemot said.
The early days have been challenging for Yves since he's not used to a fast-paced environment. But, that did not hinder him from pursuing the video game business.
He helped Ubisoft improve all the available technologies so they could establish strong branding in the market. Guillemot also mentioned that collaboration was a big help for the success of the firm.
Yves recognized the effort of the whole team in creating the games. He said that the main lesson that he learned was to work and have fun together as a group so they could create more games together.
Other than that, Yves emphasized the role of humility, pride, and respect for every person in the industry. He wanted every staff member to implant these values while doing what's best for the company.
