AccessiBe Welcomes Robert Lopez as New CEO to Propel Accessibility Innovations
On May 6, 2025, accessiBe, a prominent name in the web accessibility landscape, made a significant announcement as it appointed Robert Lopez as its new Chief Executive Officer. Lopez, who has amassed years of valuable experience in executive leadership, is expected to steer accessiBe into an exciting period of growth and innovation in the digital accessibility market.
Lopez succeeds Dekel Skoop, the former CEO and co-founder of accessiBe, who will continue his involvement with the company in a strategic capacity. Under Skoop's leadership, accessiBe grew remarkably and was instrumental in increasing web accessibility for hundreds of thousands of websites worldwide.
Having previously held the role of Chief Revenue Officer at Justworks, Lopez played a key part in transforming the company from a small startup to a significant player in the industry, achieving impressive revenue figures and a large customer base. His approach emphasizes a people-first leadership style, fostering a culture that prioritizes team performance, collaboration, and a deep commitment to inclusivity. Lopez expresses a strong belief that just as physical spaces such as hotels and restaurants strive for accessibility, the digital realm should reflect this commitment as well.
"As the digital world becomes the new storefront, it's vital to prioritize accessibility online just like we do in physical spaces,” Lopez remarked. He sees accessiBe as uniquely positioned to lead this charge, and he expressed enthusiasm about collaborating with a mission-driven team to enhance the user experience for all individuals, regardless of their abilities.
Recent months have seen accessiBe launch various initiatives designed to advance its offerings. Among these is the introduction of accessFlow 2.0, a robust developer platform that allows for direct management of accessibility at the source code level. The company has also improved its proprietary engine to ensure better compliance with regulations, deliver precise remediation, and enhance website performance overall.
"There's much more to come," Lopez hinted. "We have several exciting initiatives already in progress, which align with our vision of developing a comprehensive platform suitable for a diverse range of businesses."
Since its establishment, accessiBe's growth trajectory has been remarkable, advancing the cause of web accessibility with AI-driven solutions that facilitate better digital experiences for all users, particularly those with disabilities. The company has helped more than 100,000 websites become more accessible, reflecting its commitment to creating an inclusive internet.
Dekel Skoop, in his comments on Lopez's appointment, praised his strategic insight and operational excellence, noting that Lopez's leadership philosophy aligns seamlessly with the company's mission and long-term objectives. This appointment marks a pivotal moment for accessiBe as it embarks on its next chapter with Lopez at the helm.
AccessiBe aims to be a leader in the provision of AI-powered web accessibility solutions, working to enable a range of businesses to create inclusive digital experiences. With tailored and customized site modifications, accessiBe facilitates compliance with digital accessibility regulations, ensuring that accessibility becomes a standard rather than an exception.
As the company moves forward, it remains steadfast in its commitment to accessibility, collaborating closely with the disability community and leveraging extensive expertise to bridge the gaps that many websites still face in terms of inclusiveness.
