Whitehurst succeeds John Riccitiello, who is retiring as

company's board. He will continue to advise the company through the
transition, Unity said Monday.
Lead independent director Roelof Botha was appointed chairman.
The board plans to hire a search firm to identify a permanent

Riccitiello has served as president and chairman since 2014.
Before joining Unity, he was president and CEO of videogame company
Electronic Arts.
Whitehurst previously served as senior adviser and president at
IBM, which he joined following its 2019 acquisition of Red Hat,
where he was president and CEO.
