“Alvin is a proven leader who will be dedicated to bringing financial excellence to Skillz. I couldn’t be more excited about him joining our leadership team,” said Andrew Paradise, CEO and founder of Skillz.

“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.”

As Chief Financial Officer, Lobo joins the Skillz C-Suite and will report directly to Paradise. He will lead the company’s finance functions, including accounting, FP&A, and investor relations.

Formerly Chief Financial Officer at Score Media and Gaming, Lobo oversaw all financial and accounting operations within the organization, leading major growth and funding initiatives, including the company’s U.S. IPO and eventual sale to Penn Entertainment. 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.
