New Executive Joins Zynga in Transition

Clive Downie takes on role as COO at struggling game maker

Zynga picked up a new chief operator.

The company announced that Clive Downie would join as COO after serving as CEO at rival Japanese game maker DeNA.

The word of the new hire came at the same time the company announced third quarter results, which showed Zynga losing less money than expected.

The San Francisco-based company lost 2 cents a share, beating analyst forecasts of 4 cents a share.

While revenue was down to $202.6 million, a 40 percent decline from the year-ago quarter, it still beat predictions from Wall Street, which forecasted $190 million in revenue.
