Game engine company Unity has appointed a new CEO, following the retirement of John Riccitiello last year.
Matthew Bromberg will be stepping into the role later this month, Unity has announced. Meanwhile, the company’s interim CEO Jim Whitehurst will take up the postion of executive chair of the Unity board.
Bromberg’s previous positions within the industry include group general manager of Dragon Age and Mass Effect developer BioWare. Additionally, he served as senior vice president of strategy and operations for EA’s mobile division.
More recently, Bromberg was chief operating officer at Zynga, a leading mobile game developer and publisher known for the likes of Farmville and Words with Friends.
“I am thrilled to join Unity as it embraces its next chapter,” Bromberg said following the announcement.
“I look forward to working with Jim [Whitehurst], the Board, and the incredible people of Unity to provide the best integrated platform for creators to bring great games and experiences to their audiences globally while also helping accelerate the company’s revenue growth and profitability.”
