(Bloomberg) — Bob Lee, the chief product officer of crypto startup MobileCoin Inc., has died, the company said.
“Bob was a force of nature,” MobileCoin Chief Executive Officer Joshua Goldbard said in a statement. “He helped to birth Android and CashApp into our world. Moby was his dream: a privacy protecting wallet for the 21st century. I will miss him every day.”
Lee was the first chief technology officer of Square, the financial technology startup co-founded by Jack Dorsey, and now called Block Inc.
There was an outpouring of grief in tech circles on Twitter Tuesday night. Figma CEO Dylan Field recalled Lee’s early support of his company and wrote, “It’s so hard to believe he’s gone.”
