Follow Yves Guillemot on Facebook, Twitter or Linkedin.
Spoiler title
Fresh out of business school, Yves Guillemot and his brothers embarked on an adventure in the nascent video game industry and founded Ubisoft in 1986. Early on, Yves understood that creating original content in-house and growing proprietary brands would be key to Ubisoft’s success. His vision to use technological breakthroughs as an opportunity to innovate, create brands and win over market share proved hugely successful over the years. With a strong focus on organic growth and efficiency, he has developed an organization recognized for its unrivalled collaborative mindset and for being highly competitive, with over two thirds of production based in cost-competitive countries. Yves has led Ubisoft’s evolution over the years with player engagement at the core of the company’s development. Ubisoft is one of the pioneers and a leader of the open world genre, which has become one of the industry’s most popular gaming segments. Ubisoft also develops successful multiplayer games and delivers state-of-the-art live operations that engage fans in the long term. Under Yves’ tenure, Ubisoft launched three of the world’s four best new videogame brands of all time ─ with Tom Clancy’s The Division leading the way ─ a remarkable achievement. The company’s unique capacity as a creator of blockbuster entertainment franchises has created massive value for Ubisoft’s shareholders. As the owner of its brands, Ubisoft today is in a unique position to broaden its franchises’ reach to a much wider audience through movies, TV shows, theme parks and consumer products. Under Yves’ direction, the company is taking an innovative approach by keeping creative control over its major projects ─ a first in the industry ─ to ensure consistency with the franchises’ DNA. Over the past 30 years Yves has led Ubisoft in its evolution from a local video game distributor, to a global entertainment leader. Yves has grown alongside the industry and has a deep understanding of what it takes to survive in a fast-moving, high-risk environment, at the crossroads of creation and technological disruption. His strong business acumen is sought out by multinationals such as Lagardère and Rémy Cointreau whose boards he sits on. He was named Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst & Young in 2009, and Glassdoor elected him one of the Top 3 most beloved CEOs in France in 2015.

Spoiler title
Angeline Francis Khoo is founder and chief executive of Rosie On Fire, a luxury kimono brand that blends high-end fashion with social impact. Founded in 2013, Rosie On Fire is a purpose-driven brand that puts into practice Angeline’s combined passion for business, social impact and fashion retail. Galvanised by the challenges faced by her autistic siblings in finding work, Angeline launched Rosie On Fire to both fill a gap in the market in creating easy, glamorous pieces for women, and stable, meaningful job opportunities for marginalised people often excluded from the workforce. The company hires talented people from disadvantaged backgrounds, especially women at risk of exploitation, young people from low-income families, and people living with autism. More than 95 percent of the garments produced at Rosie On Fire are made from people that come from marginalised communities. The fashion label also donates a proportion of its profits to Metro World Child, a global charity that provides support to children at risk of neglect, abuse and sexual exploitation. Taking a holistic approach to professional development, Rosie On Fire’s team members all commit half a day a month to volunteering within their communities at places meaningful to them, which have included refugee centres, orphanages, or homeless shelters, enabling them to broaden their personal perspectives and contribute to their community. Central to the business is the belief that prioritising company culture is fundamental to the success of the company and its team. Recognising that the team’s well-being is not only good business practice but enriches their quality of life, under Angeline’s leadership, Rosie On Fire has introduced initiatives such as education allowances for employees with children, flexible working hours, mental health days, and special medical care and allowances based on personal circumstances. Since founding, the company has made a name for itself through designing high-end kimonos that are sexy, flirty and flattering for all figures, and it has grown into a global luxury fashion and lifestyle brand. The business now has offices in London, UK; Victoria, Canada; and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Rosie On Fire is set to launch its first offline retail space and is expanding into the beauty business with a high-end branded beauty bar opening in Kuala Lumpur in 2020. Having grown up in Australia, Malaysia, Canada, and the United Kingdom Angeline got her start in retail at an early age. During the school summer holidays, Angeline gained experience within different divisions of her family’s businesses, including Laura Ashley in the UK and Metrojaya department stores in Malaysia. She also had the opportunity to get to grips with the finer details of business around the dinner table, discussing product development, marketing, manufacturing, exporting, finance and management, with her family – as well as contributing her own perspective to the running of the family business, Malayan United Industries (MUI), and its subsidiaries. Prior to founding Rosie On Fire, Angeline also held roles at geopolitical consultancy Oxford Analytica and non-profit event organiser The Veritas Forum. In 2001, Angeline moved to London to pursue a career in law studying for an LLB at the University of Buckingham. Before attaining her LPC, Angeline completed her Master’s in Social Science and Social Anthropology from the University of Oxford in 2009. During her time at Oxford, she was a student mentor, supporting disabled students studying at both the University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes. While at Oxford, Angeline met her husband, technology executive Jedidiah Francis.
