Impressive career
Over the years, Moore has held several top roles across big-name companies. Having joined Sega in the 1990s, he rose through the ranks to become the president for Sega of America.
Furthermore, the exec played a pivotal role at Microsoft, aiding the company to establish its Xbox division as vice president of its interactive entertainment arm.
However, Moore then went on to head up EA Sports, before becoming the COO of the company.
In September 2020, Unity went public on the New York Stock Exchange, generating $1.3 billion through its IPO.
