Summary
Christoph Hartmann will run Ubisoft's Creative House 2, taking charge of the strategic direction and long-term development of Splinter Cell, The Division and Ghost Recon.
Hartmann brings major publishing experience after founding and leading 2K Games at Take-Two, then heading Amazon's games business until his departure in January.
Creative House 2 is the second major unit in Ubisoft's new structure, which gives dedicated Creative Houses direct responsibility for core intellectual property with support from central business teams.
The unit also includes March of Giants, a free-to-play MOBA Ubisoft acquired from Amazon in December, while the first Creative House has been renamed Vantage Studios under Charlie Guillemot.
