Pimentel will be responsible for all worldwide finance, IT, facilities and manufacturing functions, reporting directly to president and chief executive Dave DeWalt.

Boasting 30 years of industry experience, Pimentel most recently served as executive vice president and chief financial officer at Glu Mobile.
