Olivier Dumont Exits Hasbro

Olivier Dumont is stepping down as the president of Hasbro Entertainment.

Dumont, who has been instrumental in the global success of Peppa Pig, joined the toy giant following its acquisition of Entertainment One Family. He announced his departure in a LinkedIn post, noting, “As for what’s next, I’m excited to explore new opportunities to build, lead and create.”

Revealing his exit, Dumont noted: “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.

“At eOne, we grew from a passionate team of 20 to more than 200, building something truly special together. Over the past 15 years, I’ve seen and been inspired by an unparalleled level of collaboration, integrity and creativity. We built high-functioning teams not through hierarchy, but through empowerment: trusting people to do their best work, take bold risks, and bring their imagination to families everywhere. And the results just followed as we collectively built two one-billion-plus brands. I’m deeply grateful to the many colleagues, creators, partners and friends who shared this adventure with me. And I’ll always treasure being part of an industry where “play” wasn’t just what we made, it was our purpose.”
