Kobalt has hired Dylan Berthier as Chief People & Culture (P&C) Officer.

In his role, Berthier will oversee Kobalt’s global P&C team. Berthier will report to CEO Laurent Hubert and will be based in London.

Berthier joins from Activision Blizzard, where he has held a number of leadership roles.

Most recently, according to Kobalt, Berthier “led the change and employee experience workstream” of Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

The exec is described as an accomplished executive “working at the intersection of people, change, and culture across industries including Banking, FinTech, Technology, and Entertainment”.

A member of the LGBTQ+ community, Kobalt says that “Dylan deeply understands that diversity, equity, and inclusion are key commercial and cultural enablers of success”.

Berthier is also a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD, a UK-based global organization that advises HR practitioners, industry leaders, and governments on HR best practices to improve organizational efficacy as well as the working lives of employees.

“WE ARE EXCITED TO HAVE DYLAN JOIN AND LEAD OUR GLOBAL P&C EFFORTS.”
