Adam Whittaker joins Lyst as Chief Financial Officer

Lyst welcomes new Chief Financial Officer Adam Whittaker. Adam will oversee all of Lyst’s financial capabilities, effective from this month.

He joins Lyst from Outright Games – a retail-focused games company creating and publishing games based on kids IP such as Jumanji, Paw Patrol and Peppa Pig – where he was CFO. During his time, he oversaw the sale to a PE company, completed three acquisitions and launched over 30 games.

Previously, Adam was CFO of NaturalMotion, a tech company focused on mobile games. In his 10 years as CFO, he helped take the company from a pre-revenue, 25 person, tech-focused, Balderton series A company to a 250 strong, profitable business which sold to Zynga in 2014 for $600m. Under his wing, the company launched 14 number one apps, and several Apple keynotes, including for CSR Racing which has a 10 year unbroken history of #1 grossing racing app since launch.
