Unity Software is a leading developer of interactive 3D content creation tools. The company was founded in 2004 by David Helgason and Hans Imedal, but since then it has undergone several leadership changes.
Carmack joined Unity Software as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) in 2015, after he left his position as co-founder and CEO of id Software. He was responsible for leading the development of Unity’s graphics engine and providing technical guidance to the company’s engineering team. In 2019, Carmack became the CEO of Unity Software when former CEO John Frazier stepped down.
Prior to joining Unity Software, Carmack had a distinguished career in the gaming industry. He co-founded id Software in 1993 and was responsible for creating some of the most popular video games of all time, including “Doom,” “Quake,” and “Wolfenstein 3D.”
As CEO of Unity Software, Carmack has been focused on driving innovation and growth within the company. He has overseen the development of new features and tools for game developers, as well as expanded the company’s reach into areas such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). Under his leadership, Unity Software has continued to grow and expand its customer base, with over 1.5 million active users and a presence in more than 190 countries.
Carmack’s technical expertise and industry experience make him well-suited to lead Unity Software as it continues to innovate and evolve in the rapidly changing world of gaming and interactive content creation.
