“David’s high regard within the toy, game and entertainment industries, his proven financial acumen, and widespread business relationships ideally position him to spearhead our new Corporate Strategy function,” said Brian Goldner, Hasbro's President and Chief Executive Officer. “David will also look to identify new business opportunities and help ensure Hasbro continues to grow profitably against the backdrop of a rapidly changing global business environment.”

Effective immediately, Wiebe Tinga, 52, a 25-year veteran of Hasbro, will become Chief Commercial Officer, with responsibility for all of Hasbro’s global operating markets.

Prior to this appointment, Tinga was President of North America.

"Wiebe is a proven business leader and ideally suited to drive long-term growth across our brands and our partners’ brands globally,” said Goldner. “Having successfully worked in each of our territories during his long career with Hasbro, Wiebe’s breadth of experience will be a tremendous asset as we continue to expand our reach in both mature and emerging markets worldwide.”
