We are confident that Anika’s innovative  leadership will be instrumental in shaping a dynamic and inclusive workplace culture, which is key to  our ongoing growth and successful transformation. 

I would also like to sincerely thank Florence Gallois who has decided to pursue new career  opportunities outside the company. Florence has driven our People strategy, strengthened our HR  team, and modernized our processes. We are grateful for Florence’s commitment and the solid  foundation she has helped establish. Her efforts have supported our ongoing evolution toward a more  agile and cohesive organization. I wish her all the best in her future endeavors.’’

Prior to joining Ubisoft Anika held senior, global HR roles at Dyson, where she led an operating model  transformation, and at Uber, where she helped drive significant leadership and culture change leading  up to and post their successful IPO.  

Anika began her career at Accenture as a consultant, and then transitioned to internal HR roles,  including the HR Director for a European Region (encompassing France, Benelux and Mauritius) and  managing a global Centre of Expertise in Talent Strategy.
