Unity announced that Jarrod Yahes will join as SVP, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) on January 1, 2025. His appointment comes on the heels of last week’s hiring of Steve Collins, ex-CTO of King and Havok co-founder, as Unity’s new Chief Technology Officer.
Jarrod Yahes joins Unity from Shutterstock, where he has served as CFO for the past five years. He helped drive the company’s portfolio expansion into 3D content, data monetization, and digital advertising while emphasizing revenue growth and profitability.
Prior to Shutterstock, Jarrod was the CFO of Zeta Global, a marketing technology company.
“We are thrilled to welcome Jarrod to Unity. His blend of operational rigor and growth orientation will be instrumental for Unity’s next stage.
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.”
Matt Bromberg, CEO and President of Unity
“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.
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.”
