Hasbro Entertainment president Olivier Dumont has exited his role after two years.
Dumont was appointed to the role in August 2023 following Lionsgate’s $500 million acquisition of eOne. He previously served as eOne’s president of family brands from 2010 to 2023, where he oversaw content creation and distribution of Hasbro and eOne’s combined portfolio.
“After an incredible journey that began at Entertainment One and continued through at Hasbro after the acquisition, the time has come for me to hand over my dice, cards, and action figures and pass the torch,” he wrote in a LinkedIn post. “What makes me proudest isn’t just the shows or films we delivered, but the everlasting memories we created for children and families all over the world. From Peppa Pig to PJ Masks, Transformers to My Little Pony, I had the joy of working with visionary creators, partners, and colleagues to bring these beloved brands to life in new and meaningful ways.”
Dumont will be replaced by Kim Boyd, who will serve as Hasbro’s president of licensing and entertainment. Hasbro’s heads of film and TV, Zev Foreman and Gabe Morano, will report directly to Boyd. A 20-year Hasbro veteran, Boyd started as an associate brand manager for the Marvel division before rising through the ranks.
