Alexandre de Rochefort

Gameloft is one of Europe’s longest-established games developers and publishers, originally built around mobile gaming and now operating across mobile, PC and console. The company was founded in 1999 by a group of former Ubisoft executives led by Michel Guillemot. The company is best known for major franchises such as Asphalt, March of Empires and Disney Magic Kingdoms. Alexandre de Rochefort joined shortly after its founding in 2000 and played a pivotal role in its growth, serving as Chief Financial Officer for more than twenty years before being appointed Chief Executive Officer in 2023.

As CFO, de Rochefort helped guide Gameloft through its transition from early Java-based mobile games to the modern smartphone era, managing both global expansion and the company’s acquisition by Vivendi in 2016. As Group CEO, he now oversees Gameloft’s continued transition from a predominantly mobile publisher into a broader cross-platform games business, with PC and console now representing a significant share of revenue.

Founded in Paris in 1999, Gameloft is a global games developer and publisher operating across mobile, PC and console. Its portfolio includes established franchises such as Asphalt Legends, March of Empires and Disney Magic Kingdoms, alongside PC and console titles including Disney Dreamlight Valley and Disney Speedstorm.

Gameloft generated €303m in revenue in 2025 and employed around 2,400 people at year-end. Its shift beyond mobile has accelerated in recent years, with PC and console accounting for 51% of revenue in the first quarter of 2026, compared with 49% from mobile. The company continues to develop both original franchises and games based on major entertainment IP.
