Since he started at Ubisoft in 2004, Yves Jacquier filled many different positions related with the fast growth of the Studio: heading online Services, he then moves to develop the Production Services Studios in 2008 to make them the best of the industry by leading transformative activities such as Performance capture, biometrics or telemetry.
In addition, Jacquier designs the Ubisoft academic R&D strategy with two significant milestones: the creation of a chair in Artificial Intelligence (Deep Learning) in 2011 with Yoshua Bengio and the foundation in 2016 of the first Lab in the gaming industry dedicated to applied academic research: Ubisoft – La Forge, which he’s been leading since then.
Since his debut in the health sector, then in particle physics as research engineer at the CERN (Conseil Européen de la Recherche Nucléaire) on the ATLAS experiment, moving to telecoms and then the videogame industry, Jacquier has developed a solid practical expertise in technological innovation.
