New York (AP) โ Toy and entertainment company Hasbro said Tuesday that CEO and chairman Brian D. Goldner had died. He was 58 years old.
The announcement came two days after Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and Goldner announced that he would take a leave of absence from his CEO role and take effect immediately. Hasbro said at the time that Rich Stoddart, the chief independent director of Hasbroโs board of directors, was appointed as interim CEO.
The company did not reveal the cause of death, but Goldner revealed in August 2020 that he had been treated for cancer since 2014.
Goldner has been CEO of Hasbro Inc. since 2008 and Chairman since May 2015.
He was instrumental in transforming Hasbro into a world leader in play and entertainment. Under his control, Hasbro has expanded beyond toys and games to areas such as television, movies and digital games. The strategy culminated in 2019 with the acquisition of the independent entertainment studio eOne.
Goldner was also a board member of ViacomCBS.
