Jade Raymond has left her role as managing director of Ubisoft Toronto in order to pursue future opportunities, Ubisoft has announced.
Raymond shot to fame as producer on Assassin’s Creed and went on to serve as executive producer on Assassin’s Creed II, Watch_Dogs (2008-2009) and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Blacklist. She also served as managing director and opened Ubisoft Toronto studio.
Alexandre Parizeau, a founding team member of the Ubisoft Toronto studio, replaces Raymond as managing director.
“I’ve spent 10 extraordinary years at Ubisoft, and I am proud to have been part of many of the best teams in the industry making truly remarkable games,” said Raymond. “This is one of the hardest decisions of my career, but the Toronto studio is strong and on a solid path. I’m confident that now is a good time for me to transition leadership of the studio to Alex and to pursue my other ambitions and new opportunities.
“Stay tuned for more on what’s next for me, but for now, I’d like to thank Ubisoft for its partnership through the years, and I wish them the very best in all their next endeavours.”
Ubisoft Toronto will continue its role as a key contributor to the development of some of Ubisoft’s biggest games plus a number of unannounced projects.
