Hasbro Elevates Kim Boyd to Lead Licensing and Entertainment as Olivier Dumont Departs

The shift consolidates licensing with screen projects under a 20-year company veteran.

Overview

  • Olivier Dumont confirmed his exit in a LinkedIn post after two years running Hasbro Entertainment.
  • Kim Boyd steps into a newly defined President of Licensing and Entertainment role in an internal succession.
  • Heads of film and TV, Zev Foreman and Gabe Marano, will report to Boyd, and their positions remain unchanged.
