Hasbro's Entertainment President, Olivier Dumont, Departs the Company
In a heartfelt LinkedIn post, Olivier Dumont, the president of Hasbro Entertainment, expressed his gratitude towards colleagues, creators, and partners at eOne and Hasbro. Dumont did not reveal his future plans, but he did highlight the joy of working in an industry where "play" was the purpose.
Dumont's tenure at Hasbro saw the acquisition of beloved properties such as Peppa Pig and PJ Masks, which were previously owned by Entertainment One (eOne). This acquisition took place four years prior to Hasbro's decision to sell its eOne division to Lionsgate for $500 million in 2023.
During his time at Hasbro, Dumont played a significant role in building two $1B+ brands. He also emphasised the importance of collaboration, integrity, and creativity in his career. His post was filled with excitement for new opportunities to build, lead, and create.
Olivier Dumont was once the CEO of Toy Box, the studio behind PJ Masks. Under his leadership, Hasbro's properties have been adapted into various films and series, with some of its board games like Monopoly and Scrabble also being transformed for the screen.
What makes Dumont proudest isn't just the shows or films they delivered, but the everlasting memories they created for children and families all over the world. He mentioned that working in the toy and entertainment industry has been a privilege and a dream come true.
As Dumont prepares to move on, there are no search results indicating his next employer. However, his post serves as a testament to his dedication and passion for the industry. He will be remembered for his contributions to Hasbro Entertainment and the lasting impact he has made on children's entertainment.
