Mattel has named former LEGO Group and Moose Toys executive Glenn Abell senior VP of MEGA and global head of construction category.<\/p>\n

Abell joins Mattel from Moose Toys US, where he was the president and general manager. While there, he was responsible for guiding commercial and product strategy as well as organizational health. He spent the prior 16 years with the LEGO Group, where he held various management, sales and marketing positions.<\/p>\n

At Mattel, Abell will report to Richard Dickson, president and COO. Bisma Ansari, senior VP of MEGA, will report to Abell.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe construction category presents a meaningful opportunity to further accelerate Mattel\u2019s growth phase,\u201d said Dickson. \u201cMEGA is a powerful asset within our portfolio, and Glenn\u2019s deep leadership experience in building sets positions us well to advance our global market share goals. I look forward to working with Glenn and the terrific MEGA team to maximize our potential in this important category.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m thrilled to join Mattel at such an incredible time in the company\u2019s history,\u201d added Abell. \u201cI have tremendous appreciation for the power of brands and consumers\u2019 relationships with them. Mattel\u2019s are among the strongest and most respected in the world. I am eager to lead the global growth strategy for MEGA and the construction category while at the same time joining a world-class Mattel team.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
