Speaker Bio
Veronique has been an avid gamer since her youth, having a deep interest in competitive gaming, and took her first steps in the industry with a year spent at Ubisoft France in 1999. From that moment, she has grown and developed in the fast-paced and ever changing industry, bringing her in-depth expertise in marketing and publishing to premier games companies including Rockstar, NCsoft, Warner Brothers and most recently Hi-Rez Studios in her career spanning 15+ years.

Veronique has prided herself in learning and continuously developing her skills, in no small part thanks to the amazing people and teams she counted herself lucky to encounter along the way.

Working as the General Manager at NCsoft, Veronique lead the European office in Brighton with over 70 employees overseeing the introduction of Guild Wars to the international market. Moving to Warner Brothers, she took on the role of Vice President of Publishing, establishing the Digital Publishing team and overseeing many of the biggest gaming brands worldwide including Harry Potter, DC Comics (Batman), Harry Potter and LEGO video game franchises.

Veronique joined Hi-Rez Studios as General Manager for EMEA, setting up the European office from scratch for this Atlanta-based developer of popular online MOBA and shooter esports titles including SMITE and Paladins. In a matter of months her leadership has resulted in an explosion of growth in the European base from Brighton, UK, building the localisation, marketing and community teams while putting competitive gaming at the forefront of the players' experience. Due to this success Veronique was recently given expanded responsibilities, both in terms of functions and geography, and now leads global marketing, esports, TV production, and localisation.

Earlier this year, Veronique won the UK Women in Games eSports Contender Award.
