12 devs in 12 months: Marie-Eve Bolduc

To celebrate our 15th anniversary, we wanted to introduce studio employees in an original way. People that are not usually under the spotlight, but that deserve to be known for their impact on the games we create. From that idea, we created the 12 Devs in 12 Months initiative. Until the end of 2020, you will get to meet 12 talented and friendly members of our team.

This month, we’re introducing you to Marie-Eve Bolduc, Talent development advisor, here at Ubisoft Québec.

Enjoy!

WHAT’S YOUR GREATEST MEMORY AT UBI?

I would say my first day at Ubisoft Québec. That day, I joined the company I dreamed of working for (sounds cliché, but it’s true). It was the start of a great adventure that continues today.

There’s also the time we celebrated when we hit 100 employees. It was a really good time and since then the team has only grown.

The creative and dynamic environment. It is an industry in which we always have to rethink the ways of doing things.

To contribute to the opening of the studio. It was a lot of work, but so exciting.
