Unity has unveiled Elliot Solomon as its new VP of North America and Erik Juhl as director of development in a dual announcement.

Soloman, who will serve out of Unity's San Francisco HQ, comes to the company having previously held positions at the likes of Disney Interactive Media Group, RealNetworks and Intellectual Capital.

Meanwhile, Juhl is bound for Unity's base in Copenhagen, having garnered 17 years of experience in software engineering leadership and cross platform technologies.

"It's awesome to have Elliot and Erik on board at Unity," said CEO David Helgason.

"We're incredibly thankful and excited to be attracting talented industry veterans to our team. Their vast experience and dedication will help Unity thrive as a development platform and business on a global scale."

Unity claims Soloman's expertise in new business development, strategic management and partnership negotiation will be put to good use at the firm.

Conversely, Juhl will set about providing an oversight for all development on the firm's platform, calling on his years of experience fostered as the likes of Midway and EA.
