A new direction
Blum’s appointment as COO comes Unity continues to shake up its leadership team. After naming Matt Bromberg as president and CEO earlier this year, this week the company also recruited ex-King CTO and Havok co-founder Steve Collins as its new chief technology officer. He replaced previous chief product and techology officer Marc Whitten.
The executive changes come after a challening year for Unity, which dealt with the fallout from the now abandoned Runtime Fee.
