Tributes from his coworkers began to pour in on Tuesday night, with MobileCoin’s CEO Joshua Goldbard calling Lee “a force of nature.”

“Bob was a force of nature. Helped to birth Android and CashApp into our world,” Goldbard told ABC7. Moby was his dream: a privacy-protecting wallet for the 21st Century. I will miss him every day.”

During his successful tech career, Lee also worked at Google where he led Android’s core library team and launched the world’s most-used operating system, according to his profile on MobileCoin’s official website. Later on, Lee founded the social network Present, and went on to invest in companies like Figma, Clubhouse, Beeper, and Faire.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit the globe, Lee assisted the World Health Organization with their mobile app and later helped to develop an at-home testing company.
