“We are creating a new team within Roblox, led by Imbellus’ visionary founder Rebecca Kantar to build a system on Roblox for fair and objective assessments that will help us broaden our sources of potential talent from more diverse backgrounds,” a Roblox spokesman said in an emailed statement.The San Mateo, California-based company has filed to go public through an IPO on the New York Stock Exchange which could come later this year.
