“We are thrilled to welcome Max and Robynne to our Board of Directors - two accomplished business leaders with tremendous vision and expertise,” said Unity CEO John Riccitiello.

“Robynne is a financial leader with strong vision and Max is a business expert who’s helped guide some of the most intriguing companies in tech today. I'm confident their experiences will add great value to our Board, and look forward to benefiting from their strategic insight and counsel."
