Who is the co-founder and CEO of Roblox Corporation?

The story behind the answer

David Baszucki is the co-founder and CEO of Roblox Corporation.

Baszucki co-founded Roblox with Erik Cassel, another former Knowledge Revolution colleague. Before Roblox, Baszucki helped create Interactive Physics, educational software that let students experiment with simulated physical systems. That experience influenced Roblox's emphasis on creation tools and user-generated content.

Roblox began development in 2004 under early names including eBlocks, GoBlocks, and DynaBlocks before becoming Roblox. Baszucki is also known by his Roblox username, Builderman. Erik Cassel remained an important co-founder and executive until his death in 2013, but he was not the company's CEO when the question was written. Mark Zuckerberg and Tim Berners-Lee are associated with Facebook and the World Wide Web, respectively, not Roblox.
