Zynga has made a name for itself in this gaming landscape thanks to Facebook and mobile gaming. With games like Farmville and Words With Friends, the company has found much success over the years. Now, they have announced the appointing of a new CFO for the company, which will definitely play a large role in the future.
Zynga has revealed that they have named David Lee, former Best Buy Senior Vice President of Finance, as their new Chief Financial Officer.
It is an honor to join Zynga during such a transformative time in the company’s history. Zynga reached impressive milestones in its first phase of growth, entertaining more than one billion people with its games and creating iconic, household brands with franchises like FarmVille and Words With Friends. Don [Mattrick] and the leadership team have an ambitious vision anchored by a rich culture of innovation, and I look forward to working with them to build the next chapter of Zynga’s growth.
Best Buy’s growing online presence is likely one of the reasons Lee was targeting for this position, as he knows the space very well.
