“Skillz is already building a model that the rest of the mobile gaming industry will eventually be adopting,” said Lobo. “The vision Skillz is executing sets us apart as a leader and I'm thrilled to step into the Chief Financial Officer role to help unlock the company’s full business potential.”

Prior to that, Lobo spent several years in the gaming industry, serving as Vice President of Corporate Finance for Boyd Gaming Corporation and as Director of Corporate Finance and Investor Relations for Wynn Resorts.
