Scopely Appoints Shlomi Aizenberg as Chief Business Officer to Drive Growth

Scopely, a leading mobile gaming company owned by Savvy Games Group, has announced the appointment of Shlomi Aizenberg as its new Chief Business Officer (CBO). This strategic hire comes as Scopely experiences significant growth, driven by blockbuster titles such as Monopoly Go, which generated $2 billion in revenue within its first 10 months on the market after seven years of development.

The company’s co-CEOs, Walter Driver and Javier Ferreira, emphasized their commitment to expanding leadership with individuals who align with Scopely’s vision and strategic ambitions. They highlighted Aizenberg’s extensive experience at Playtika, where he served as Chief Operating Officer and led major cross-functional initiatives, including managing the renowned game Bingo Blitz and driving key acquisitions such as Wooga and Seriously.

At Scopely, Aizenberg will play a crucial role in the company’s mergers and acquisitions (M&A) strategy, working closely with teams led by Chief Revenue Officer Tim O’Brien and corporate development head Rob Ricca. His responsibilities include evaluating new business opportunities, identifying investment and acquisition targets, and ensuring seamless operational integration to foster long-term growth while preserving creative autonomy for game development teams.

The co-CEOs noted that Scopely’s approach to M&A is dynamic and tailored to each opportunity’s unique strengths. Over its 13-year history, Scopely has executed numerous high-value transactions, including the $3.5 billion acquisition of Niantic’s games business, and has engaged with over 800 companies to evaluate promising games, talent, and technology. This strategy focuses on unlocking synergies, amplifying acquired teams’ strengths, and ensuring sustained success within Scopely’s ecosystem.

Aizenberg’s appointment marks a shift in Scopely’s business leadership, with a focus on acquisition strategy, operational integration, and growth. His proven track record in developing post-deal operating plans and unifying businesses is expected to be instrumental as Scopely pursues large-scale M&A initiatives across mobile, console, and PC gaming sectors.

This leadership expansion aligns with Scopely’s broader strategy of transformative partnerships, investments, and acquisitions to build a diverse and high-performing gaming portfolio. By combining strong operational expertise with a deep understanding of gaming teams and industry relationships, Scopely aims to sustain its growth trajectory and deliver exceptional experiences to players worldwide.
