I am very excited to announce a new addition to the French Square Enix team – Catherine Vandier!

The Tomb Raider community may better know Catherine as Clara from Captain Alban. Clara is one of the hardest working and most dedicated webmasters I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with, so to have her join the Square Enix family is a perfect fit.

Catherine’s new title is PR assistant, and she’ll have her hands plenty full over the coming months.

In her own words:

“My job is all about the press: I write press releases and send out assets to magazines and websites. I also compile the press previews and reviews of our games for follow-up. We then send out those compilations to the dev teams for constructive feedback. I also assist with game previews and developer interviews for journalists.

“Coming from the press side (I was working as a journalist up until last January), it’s fun and very interesting to see the industry from this perspective. Even though I had some experience in the field, I learn a lot day by day. Working in the video game field has been a goal of mine for a long time. I applied to this job opening and when I heard I was accepted, there’s no word that can describe how happy I was (and still am!). Of course I still have a lot to learn but I am up for the challenge. And fortunately I have great teachers!”

Help me welcome Catherine to her new position!

Awesome! Congratulations to Clara—and to Square for getting her on their team!
