Gilles Langourieux CEO Virtuos Games.
Gilles founded the Company in October 2004. He was previously Worldwide Managing Director of ubi.com, Ubisoft's online division, responsible for the group's online strategy and businesses.

Gilles played a key role in this strategy by setting-up and managing the group's studios in Shanghai and Beijing from 1997 to 2000. He and his team built these studios into the largest in China with more than 300 employees. Today, they remain the most profitable studios for Ubisoft and its sister company Gameloft. More recently, under Gilles's leadership, Ubisoft became the first foreign company to have published and self-operated an MMORPG in China by launching Everquest (Sony Online). Gilles entered the gaming industry in 1995 as a Producer, after working 3 years in retailing and management consulting.
