Unity’s executive overhaul has continued with the appointment of Jarrod Yahes as chief financial officer.
Yahes joins the engine maker from Shutterstock, where he served as CFO for the past five years. During his tenure, he oversaw the company’s expansion into 3D content, data monetization, and digital advertising.
His appointment follows the recent hiring of Havoc co-founder Steve Collins, who was named Unity chief technology officer last week.
Unity’s new C-suite
Unity CEO Matt Bromberg has reshaped the C-suite since taking on the role in May and is attempting to rehabilitate the company’s tarnished reputation by completely scrapping the controversial Runtime Fee and outlining plans to transform Unity into a “fundamentally different company.”
Bromberg replaced former Unity CEO John Riccitiello, who departed in October 2023 in the wake of that Runtime Fee debacle. Discussing the appointment of Yahes, Bromberg claimed his “blend of operational rigor and growth orientation” will enable Unity to chart a better path forward.
“We’ve now solidified the leadership team that will drive Unity towards greater operational discipline, accelerated product innovation, and deeper relationships with our customers and the community,” he added.
Yahes said he’s eager to support Unity’s mission to solidify its “unique place” in the development ecosystem. “Unity has established itself as the only global platform that supports developers across the entire lifecycle of making, marketing, and monetizing games and interactive experiences,” he continued.
“I’m so excited to join Matt and the team to support Unity’s mission. Unity is a special company with a unique place in the ecosystem.”
