I bring 15+ years of experience managing end-to-end product lifecycles and global marketing strategies for Hasbro Inc. brands, including Marvel, Monopoly, KRE-O, Nerf, Super Soaker, Baby Alive, Peppa Pig, Potato Head, My Little Pony, Furby and Nano-mals. I am an energetic and growth-minded leader passionate about creating leading-edge play and entertainment experiences for fans. After 6 years at Dunkin' Brands Inc., I have spent 14+ years at Hasbro, Inc. shaping brand strategy, engineering innovative product lines, and generating strong revenue and profit margins. I am a sharp negotiator and licensing partner propelling global market expansion. I am a charismatic and goal-focused collaborator known for motivating teams to challenge conventional thinking and unlock unique value opportunities. My professional expertise spans Creative Ideation, Product Strategy, Product Development, Brand Strategy, Business Strategy and Operations and Team Leadership. I've repeatedly transformed problems into product solutions, introduced unique value propositions, and helped close lucrative deals with major licensing partners like Disney and Nintendo. A few career highlights: -Spent the last 4 years leading US Brand Commercialization for the Sports Action and Fashion/Preschool Portfolios in the US. - Built a long-standing partnership with Disney and led product development for the Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: End Game 'kid' and 'fan' product lines, leading to multi-year contract extension for Hasbro. -Developed two low-cost, high-value action figure product lines (Titan Hero in 2011 and Olympus in 2019), generating hundreds of millions of dollars in topline revenue and significant profit for Hasbro. -Led negotiations with Nintendo of America to design and create Monopoly Gamer, a Monopoly game with Nintendo characters, one of the most successful collaborative Monopoly game launches in Hasbro's history. -I owned, operated, and grew an award-winning photo booth company from the ground-up. From 2009-2017, we executed over 1500 events, generating $100-$150K in revenue each year. Outside of work, I am a family-first dad, avid sports collector, youth sports coach and gamer.
