Roblox taps Paramount's Naveen Chopra as new CFO
Roblox Corp. tapped Paramount Global's Naveen Chopra as its new chief financial officer, effective June 30. 'Naveen's experience as CFO at leading companies equips him with invaluable financial and strategic acumen to foster Roblox's growth,' Roblox Chief Executive Officer and co-founder Dave Baszucki said in a statement. Chopra, whose departure as CFO of Paramount was simultaneously announced, has also held top positions at Inc., in its devices and services business, and as CFO at Pandora and Tivo Corp. Last year, Roblox's longtime CFO Michael Guthrie announced plans to step down. He has led the 20-year-old creative video game company as it went public in 2021 and helped boost revenue 89% since then to $3.6 billion at the end of 2024. This year, Roblox has drawn record crowds to its fastest-growing game ever, Grow a Garden. Guthrie will remain CFO at Roblox until June 30 and then serve as a consultant to ensure a smooth transition, the company said. D'Anastasio writes for Bloomberg.
