Hasbro announced on Wednesday that it is appointing Chris Cocks as the new Chief Executive Officer and as a board member for the company effective February 25.
Cocks joined Hasbro in 2016 as the President and COO of Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro’s digital gaming division.
Rich Stoddart was acting as Hasbro’s interim CEO after previous Chairman and CEO Brian Goldner passed away in October at 58 years old.
Hasbro’s President and Chief Operating Officer John Frascotti retired from the position on March 31, but is still employed as a special adviser to the CEO until April 1.
