“Whilst working under Hugues as a producer at EA Singapore, I remember him as a smart, inspirational, caring, consummate professional and a people-oriented leader. He showed passion about the games he was building, whether it was for a football simulation, or for a race car simulation. At the time, he was the Senior Producer responsible for both the FIFA Online and Need for Speed Online teams, and he made it a point to cultivate a fun and inclusive environment for the game studio while at the same time had the ability to drive the team towards corporate goals effectively. He was key in building up fun working culture at EA Singapore. Who could forget the Wii Sports / Rockband lunchtime sessions that he initiated at EA Singapore in Suntec? :) Great daily team-building activity for the team. During my time with EA Singapore, Hugues was my direct manager and a mentor who gave me many gems of advice (people-management, software development, software accessibility, user-interface, quality presentations, coordination with marketing/legal etc.) that have had a profound positive effect in building my career as a software professional. I was able to apply the words of wisdom learnt from Hugues and have made positive changes to the companies that I have worked for since leaving EA. Although Hugues was relatively new to Singapore at the time, I remember he took the time and effort to understand the local culture, often enquiring me about the local South East Asian cultures and language when we had our one-on-one sessions. It was through Hugues mentorship/guidance that I learnt the importance of protecting the team from fatigue and project scope creep, as building software is a marathon, not a sprint. He taught me the importance of looking after the team's health and wellbeing especially in big game delivery projects which are mentally/emotionally taxing. There was once after hitting a project milestone, he encouraged me to organize a team trip up to Malaysia to watch a Chelsea v Malaysia game as a team-bonding activity for the FIFA Online team. It turned out to be a very memorable experience for the team. This was the team that would eventually become the successful pioneers of microtransaction-based FIFA (pre-cursor of FUT!) and launched FIFA Online 2 successfully throughout Asia, bringing in significant revenue for EA. Hugues was also extremely understanding and supportive when I was going through being a dad for the first time, and also when my family went through a health crisis. He allowed me to take time off from the busy schedule of the FIFA Online projects for the family and to return stronger for the team. My experience working with Hugues was a very positive one, that’s why I won’t hesitate to recommend him as I'm confident he will be a valuable asset to any game studio that he leads or manages.”
